As part of Community Rail Week 2023, Rail Delivery Group have teamed up with Community Rail Network to host the annual World Cup of Stations tournament.
The tournament celebrates the UK’s best stations by having them battle it out head-to-head in an online public vote.
This year they are looking to crown ‘The UK’s Best Loved Station’ and shine a spotlight on the work of dedicated volunteers that support our stations through Community Rail and they’re delighted to announce that Hollingbourne has been selected. The categories for stations shortlisted for this year’s competition include creating social spaces, supporting local business, promoting local tourism, and sustainability.
