This page lists '''future stations''' on Britain's railway or tramway networks. Stations are only listed here once work has begun or there is a realistic prospect of the station being completed, rather than those that are simply listed as part of the [[Restoring Your Railway]] campaign, for instance. Speculative stations should not be added.
