From Rail Delivery Group
Welcome to our annual World Cup of Stations Competition where a group of shortlisted stations in Britain battle it out head-to-head in a public vote.
With 2025 marking 200 years since the birth of the modern railway, this year’s World Cup of Stations will see us celebrate the most life-changing station of the last 200 years. This theme will spotlight the many stations that have touched lives in unforgettable ways, from moments of hope and heroism to new beginnings.
There will be two phases to the competition:
Nomination phase (1 to 22 August) - Nominate a station that you believe has made a life-changing impact.
Public voting phase (13 to 17 October) - Cast your vote for your favourite shortlisted station, with the station with most votes to be crowned the winner.

Would love to submit a station but I can't get the 'Submit nomination' button to do anything.

Just worked for me - follow the instructions for each box carefully

I did.
It was a very slow loading of the confirmation page without the usual progress bar. Got there in the end.

I have (members will not be amazed!) submitted Melksham Station. "Nominate a station that you believe has made a life-changing impact" says the blurb from the Rail Delivery Group."
I don't just believe it has made a life-changing impact - I know it has.

Yes - I can spell that - M-E-L-K .... oh, wait, wrong question
"About 100 miles / 160 kms west of London. Not very far from Stonehenge / near Bath"

I have several 'personal favourite railway stations':
1. Kemble, 2. Nailsea & Backwell, 3. Melksham.
My vote has gone in for Melksham.
CfN.
For the information of any of my regular readers here (if indeed there are any), Taunton does not appear on that list. Anywhere.

Voting starts in October half-term week
