What started this ridiculous craze for saying "train station" instead of "railway station"?

The expression "train station" is so infantile that I didn't even use it in 1966 (the year I started primary school), yet it is even being used by railwaymen this year. Why do you think that is?

tbh, I kind of find "Railway Station" rather wrong, the station is for the trains to stop at and embark or disembark passengers and/or freight. The stations aren't for the "railways" they are for the trains, passengers and freight.
