A STATION on the famous Carlisle to Settle railway line has been nominated for the World Cup of Stations.
Ribblehead, part of the historic trainline, has been shortlisted for the competition.
The World Cup of Stations is an annual 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 are two phases to the competition:
- Nomination phase (August 1 to 22) - The public shared stories and nominated stations that have made a life-changing impact.
- Public voting phase (October 13 to 17) - Cast your vote for your favourite shortlisted station, with the station with most votes to be crowned the winner.
Ribblehead station was a key part of the fight to save the Settle-Carlisle Railway and, despite being closed for many years, was restored.
You can vote for the station here.
