On some buses here there are signs that say the capacity and it's eg "24 seated, 15 standees." WTF? Standees? Why not "15 standing?"

All I can say is, Bah! Humbug!!!! (a train runs on a track of rails - therefore the depot is a station on that rail way - thus a train station.)

5:45 CDT - that gobby little sod called lyonsden1193 has walked through the door and has immediately taken your side! As an ex-BR employee, he has confirmed that it is, in fact, a railway station. And trains run through it, except when there are "leaves on the line" or the more famous one, the "wrong type of snow".
