BOURNEMOUTH station has been shortlisted in a competition to find Britain's favourite railway station.

It is one of four in the south west selected for the #WorldCupOfStations contest now running on Twitter.

Now fans of the station are being urged to have their say comparing things such as architecture, impact on the community and user experience including shops, restaurants and the general vibe.

Other stations taking part in the region are Bristol Temple Meads, Bath Spa and Swindon.

People can follow the action and vote for the station they want to represent their area in the next round by visiting @raildeliverygrp or searching for #WorldCupOfStations.

The winning station will be presented with a plaque.
