Barrow Railway Station is set to be included in national plans for remembrance services next month.
Each year, as part of the Railway Mission, stations come together to remember the sacrifice and loss experienced during times of conflict
The event in Barrow will take place on Saturday, November 9 from 10.45am and will be conducted by Mike Roberts.
A spokesperson from Railway Mission said: "Remembrance services are not intended to glorify war or trivialise sacrifice and loss experienced, but to both facilitate a corporate act of remembrance and to bring a connection between church and industry that can stimulate conversation and understanding.
"Chaplains are working to build on the success of the past and to enhance the chaplaincy and the relationship between stations and local churches."
According to current plans, Barrow will be the only location to host one of the services on the Saturday, with several others taking place around Armistice Day.
