It’s time for you to submit your nominations for this year’s World Cup of Stations!

With 2025 marking 200 years since the birth of the modern railway, this year’s World Cup of Stations, organised by Rail Delivery Group, will see the nation 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.

Rail Delivery Group is looking for compelling, real-life stories – big or small, that show how a station helped change someone’s life or shaped a community.

Find all the details about the nomination phase, including submission criteria and example nominations, in this toolkit.

Submit your station nomination using the form here.

Submissions close at 23:59 on Friday 22 August 2025.
