As a result, "Vauxhall" became a generic term for other
pleasure gardens, including Bath's "Sydney Gardens" Vauxhall,
much visited by Jane Austen. Indeed, Vauxhall gave the
Russians their word for "railway station" which is pronounced
"vokzal".
in cyrillic it's "вокзал"

we -- russians, ukrainians, belorussians etc, what the difference :),
aren't using "вокзал" without revision of what exactly,
so: railway station is a "ЖД (железнодорожный) вокзал" and
bus terminal is a "автовокзал".

See? I knew my mother wasn't a liar! I just confused the czar with the tsar.
