British English: railway station/train station. Fire-station. Tube station.

American English: fire-house. Subway station.

I'm not sure about railroad station. We don't use railroad in British English, it is an American term, however, I am not sure that they then also refer to railroad stations.

Tube station is more informal for underground station. Both are terminology from London's underground train system, called the London Underground.
