On the subject of railway stations. I think it would be good if tagged
them with their reference codes (no idea what the correct term is),
all the stations in the UK have codes and if you know them it's
quicker to use them while searching. I'm not such a geek I know all of
them but the

I believe the usage of the building should be explicitly defined, so
station should be used.
Most people who disagree are discussing it from the point of view of using
the map for the sole purpose of using a train. This is not the case.

Good question, I've been wondering this myself.
the map shows a Waterloo and a Waterloo Station.

I concur, railway stations most often don't have Station after their name
so they should be recorded as-is on the primary signage / on-platform
signage (if people can be bothered to doublecheck the platforms). Using the
National Rail site should be doable to acquire the definitive station names,
And the difference between them is pretty easily explained. If you're
on a train, you know you've just pulled into a station, the only
question is which one, so the word station is redundant. If you are
outside the station, you may not know what the building in front of
you is, and you are
