FOUR Scottish train stations are in the running to be named the UK's favourite at the 2024 World Cup of Stations.
The annual event was established in 2019 by the Rail Delivery Group and aims to highlight the importance of rail in supporting communities, businesses and the economy.
Voting for the exciting award will take place between October 14 and October 18 with a winner being announced on October 22. Those looking to cast a ballot can do so on the organisation's website.
Jacqueline Starr, Chief Executive Officer at the Rail Delivery Group said that all the stations nominated are making a "positive impact" on their local communities and that this is a "testament to the hard work and dedication of the staff" as well as the importance placed on local businesses.
There are currently 48 stations across 12 local heats competing for the sought-after title.
All the Scottish train stations in the running to be named the UK's favourite
Four Scottish train stations have been nominated for the Rail Delivery Group's World Cup of Stations. These locations will be following in the footsteps of Wemyss Bay Station which snagged the title last year.
The Kilmarnock Station Railway Heritage Trust
The local Heritage Trust has "transformed" the station into a "vibrant community village" with it now offering a range of services such as counselling, a model shop, and a gaming centre.
Glasgow Queen Street
Queen Street Station in the heart of Glasgow has been "redesigned," doubling the size of the old structure. This has allowed more people to get into the city and support the local businesses.
Pitlochry station
Acting as a gateway to the beautiful Perthshire countryside, Pitlochry Station allows travellers to visit some of Scotland's oldest working distilleries, enjoy performances at the local theatre and relax at charming independent hotels.
Edinburgh Waverley and Cadenhead's Whisky Shop
Cadenhead’s Whisky Shop, which is just a short walk from Edinburgh Waverly, offers tourists and locals a taste of the finest local spirits in the land. Nestled in a century-old warehouse, their whiskies and rums are meticulously stored by the cask.
