Doncaster has been named on the six-strong shortlist to become the headquarters of Great British Railways.
Following strong applications from 42 local authorities across Britain, the city of Doncaster is now one of just a handful remaining before a public vote.
 YOU can now vote on which location you think should be Great British Railway's new HQ (although, the choice is quite obvious really isn't it?).
The results of the public vote will be used to measure the level of public support for each location, and will be considered as part of final decision making.
Doncaster can also expect visits from Government ministers and GBR representatives as part of the process, which takes place from now until 15 August 2022.
Cast your vote for DONCASTER here, and help us race to victory!
Mayor Ros Jones delighted by Doncaster shortlisting!
Reacting to the news that we have made the final six locations on the shortlist, Doncaster Mayor Ros Jones said:
“I am delighted that Doncaster has made the shortlist. I firmly believe that Doncaster should be the home of Great British Railways, in the heart of South Yorkshire and gateway to the North, we would make the perfect home for GBR and the ideal location from which to run this country's railways. Our bid is strong and demonstrates all we have to offer, including our rich rail history, value for money, excellent connectivity and links with the rail sector not to mention our new found city status!
“We’ve already had an overwhelming level of public support for our bid, but now we need the whole of Doncaster, South Yorkshire, the North and beyond to support us by voting for Doncaster.
"Come on Doncaster, we can do it!”
