@kitten Wait until you see Budapest. The Western railway station is the northernmost and serves mostly the eastern part of Hungary, the Southern railway station is the easternmost and serves mainly the west, and the Eastern railway station is the southernmost and serves random directions.

@kitten no, because nomenclatures which rely on a single letter of difference are always prone to confusion, especially if the pronunciation is somewhat similar, especially in a city with many foreign tourists
