Northern's rail stations are set for a splash of colour after its art competition winners were announced.
The train operator was inundated after it invited customers to submit works of art that 'evoked thoughts of the railway or the north of England in general' to decorate its stations.
Entries flooded in from across the three age groups - under 11, under 18 and over 18 with winners were chosen by artist Alastair Nicholson.
Alastair said: “The standard was so high that it made it really hard to select the winners. In truth, I wish I everyone could have won.”
First place in the over 18 category went to Amy Yim, whose abstract work caught Alastair’s eye.
He added: “Amy’s piece combines rail travel and art in a fun way.”
The under 18 category went to Elenore Heywood and the winner of the under 11 section was Joseph Ridyard, 6.
