Hi everyone,
�station master � and �stationmaster � are both standard and acceptable variations of the same term.
From Swan �s �Practical English Usage �:
Many common short compounds are now often
written �solid �, with no division between the words (e.g. weekend,
wideawake, takeover); other less common or longer compounds are now
more likely to be written as completely separate words (e.g. train
driver, living room). The situation at present is rather confused, and
it is not unusual to find the same expression spelt in three
different ways (e.g. bookshop, book-shop, book shop). If one is not
sure whether to use a hyphen between words or not, the best thing is to
look in a dictionary, or to write the words without a hyphen.
Regards,
AB
