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.

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 (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.

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

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

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