Train stations?

Personally, I don't mind 'Labor' for 'Labour' or even 'revolutionize' for 'revolutionise' and so on, and I'm almost prepared to accept 'midway' for 'halfway'. If ABC management have instructed staff to eradicate Australian English on pain of dismissal, one would not wish to appear curmudgeonly. We must, after all, never lose sight of the fact that our writers should cringe beneath the obviously superior culture of the USA.

Having said that, I do wish ABC News writers would give us back our railway stations. Railway stations are good places to eat chips beneath the Southern Cross. Train stations are where Americans would eat fries if they had a 'midway' decent public transport system.
