Brookwood Station - "Station of the Year"? Please vote...

Vote for Brookwood in World Cup of Stations 2026. Brookwood has been shortlisted for Station of the Year in the World Cup of Stations 2026.
More than 150 nominations were received this time around, so making it on the shortlist is a significant achievement.

Rail Delivery Group (RDG) oversees the World Cup of Stations competition, an annual contest to find the Station of the Year. There is a different theme each time; this year’s theme celebrates the stations creating connections that matter, and the role the railway plays in bringing people together.

At Brookwood we have transformed unused railway land into a memorial garden where railway families and the wider community can remember loved ones, discover shared heritage and connect with nature. The garden was created as part of our Railway 200 celebrations last year. Created with volunteers giving their time and hard work, it turns the station’s unique link to Brookwood Cemetery into a lasting place of reflection, belonging and community care. You are very welcome to visit yourself, any time the station and cemetery are open.

But now, we need your help.

As this is a public vote, Brookwood can only win with your backing. This year, voting will be in two stages. First, stations have been split into regional groups. Then, the winner of each region will battle it out in the final. We're now in the Final 5!
Berney Arms, Cardross, Irlam, Brookwood and Yatton.
Voting closes on Sunday 18th October.

We would be grateful if you could generate support for this campaign by promoting the World Cup of Stations on your social media channels or email newsletters, to encourage your followers to back Brookwood as Station of the Year.

As the railway goes through its own major transition to become Great British Railways, it is vital to celebrate stations that connect people to the places that matter to them and the value of rail beyond train journeys.
