Station of the Year Award
Station of the Year Award
Criteria:
Awarded to an operational station or halt on an HRA member railway, tramway or funicular for excellence in restoration or maintenance, customer service, facilities, and attention to detail.
There are 460 heritage rail stations in the UK – we want to celebrate the very best. Judges will expect to hear more about what makes your station special, how you make passengers using your station feel welcome, and examples of the care given to protect and enhance your station.
How do you provide the facilities that 21st Century visitors expect, while protecting the heritage ambience of your station? How do you ensure your station is as accessible as possible to a wide variety of audiences?
Don’t forget to tell us about the people who make it all possible. What do staff or volunteers at the station get out of their dedication to the cause? Are there any personal stories they’d like to share?
TOP TIP: It's normally easier to work on your draft submission in a text document then paste it into the submission form when you're ready. Be clear and concise, use bullet points if neccessary.
The process:
Entering the HRA Annual Awards is easy.
Simply fill in and submit the easy to complete online nomination form below. You’ll need to include four high-quality images to support your submission. These should be in jpg format and be between 1mb and 5mb in size each.
Our judging team will be in touch later this year to let you know if you’ve been shortlisted.
TOP TIP: Remember the judges might not know your railway or project, explain exactly what you mean.
Please note that any information or images provided in your submission may be published by the Heritage Railway Association in connection with the awards and their publicity.
