The names of two new railway stations due to open in Birmingham next year have been revealed.
The stations in Moseley and Hazelwell will be called 'Moseley Village' and 'Pineapple Road' respectively when they open on the Camp Hill line in late 2023.
A decision on a third new station being built as part of this £61 million investment, to be called simply Kings Heath, was taken previously.
Almost 6,000 residents gave their views on naming the two stations during a recent public consultation from a shortlist announced by Transport for West Midlands and West Midlands Rail Executive.
There were 5,944 responses for the Moseley station with 55 per cent in favour of Moseley Village and 45 per cent going for the simpler Moseley.

Transport chiefs said the majority of those who picked Moseley Village said they did so because it was both nicer and better reflected the location.
There were 5,855 responses for the Hazelwell station with 48 per cent backing Pineapple Road, 30 per cent Stirchley and 22 per cent the historic Hazelwell name.

The Pineapple Road supporters thought it was memorable and better explained where the station would be located than the alternatives. Construction is due to begin in November.
Hertfordshire-based contractor VolkerFitzpatrick was recently recruited to build the three stations, following on from its work to revamp University of Birmingham station ahead of this summer's Commonwealth Games.
The Camp Hill line runs through south Birmingham via Kings Heath and Moseley and into Saltley. It is predominantly a freight line but does carry some passenger services into New Street station.
When the stations first open, services are expected to run twice per hour but this could be increased dramatically if the so-called 'Bordesley Chords' scheme goes ahead which will take them into Moor Street station instead of New Street.
West Midlands Mayor Andy Street said: "It's brilliant to see that the naming of these stations has ignited such public interest.
"It's a clear sign of just how keen local residents are to see this line reopened and why I have made it such a top priority.
"My task in selecting the winning station names was made very easy as Pineapple Road and Moseley Village emerged as the runaway popular choices.

"And so as we bring these stations to life, I hope the community will feel a genuine sense of pride as they see the signs for the names they've chosen going up and train services running from the end of next year."
Birmingham City Council leader Cllr Ian Ward added: "People have long campaigned to get these stations rebuilt and reopened to passenger services so I am not surprised so many came forward to help us decide what to call them.
"We are asking people to reduce car use to ease congestion, tackle pollution and meet our climate change targets and so projects like this are vital to provide them with sustainable alternatives.
"Now we can get on with the next stage of finalising the designs and getting construction under way later this year."
The combined authority is providing £36 million funding towards the three stations, with £20 million from the Department for Transport and the remaining £5 million from Birmingham City Council's Clean Air Zone fund.
