We need your vote! 🙏 ⏰ There are just hours left before the World Cup of Stations top 20 is cut down to the final five at midnight tonight. Every single vote today could make the difference. Only the leading station from each regional group will go through, so we're asking you to get behind our incredible stations: Par, Crediton and Yatton. 🌱 Par is changing lives through volunteering, giving local people opportunities to build skills, confidence and independence through gardening, customer service and passenger assistance. 🎵 Crediton has transformed former station buildings into a thriving community café and inclusive music and arts hub, helping people with learning disabilities and autism build friendships and feel a sense of belonging. 🚲 Yatton brings together volunteers, a social-enterprise café and a community cycling hub, helping people gain confidence, independence and new connections through accessible, sustainable travel. These stations are about far more than trains. They're bringing communities together, creating opportunities and making a real difference to customers and local people every day. ✅ Vote now: raildeliverygroup.com/our-se… 📢 Please vote for Par, Crediton or Yatton and share this post. With the midnight cut-off fast approaching, every vote counts. #WorldCupOfStations #GWR #Par #Crediton #Yatton #CommunityRail #EveryVoteCounts
