The next stop is Central

The next stop is Central

an entry of central from Cambridge:

in, at, from, or near the center or most important part of something

In Australia, there is a railway station located in Sydney called Central Station. A broadcast in the metro to Central Station always says:

The next stop is Central.

Why does Central serve as a noun, a name here? Is it accepted or right grammatically?



Top Answer/Comment:

In London the automated underground voice will announce trains (departing from or) arriving at Piccadilly, Highgate, Elephant and Castle etc. There's no need to add "station" the commuters/travellers who are waiting on the platforms, know they are in a station.

Central line is not an exception, even if it is a railway line and not the name of a station, people who use the underground will understand that Central refers to the line.
