main station
City's primary depot
Main station refers to the primary or central station in a network or system—typically the principal railway station in a city, often translating the German *Hauptbahnhof*: We'll meet at the main station and take the train to Munich.
In broadcasting or communications, it can designate the headquarters or primary transmission point as opposed to substations or satellites.
