Train station

>>The subway system in Washington DC (which goes by the European name of
"Metro" rather than "subway" or "transit" as in New York) has the attendant
on each train announce the next stop on the PA system (the attendant does

have much else to do).  Invariably the attendant says "The next station stop
is Judishooary Square" or whatever the name of the stop is.  Note the
invariable use of the redundant "station stop".<

In fact, Amtrak Metroliner conductors have used "the next station stop" to
announce stops since inception of the service. I finally realized they were
distinguishing between the "station" (building or location) and the "stop"
being made there. Probably simpler just to say "the next stop", however.
