Students from East Riding College have created new artwork to welcome visitors to Beverley Station.

The railway station now has dozens of new colourful creations adorning the walls.

The eight students spent more than 150 hours on the project with support from train operator Northern.

Tony Baxter, regional director at Northern, said: “I would like to say a huge thank you to the incredibly talented students whose artwork now has pride of place at the station.

“It is such a wonderful welcome for everyone visiting the station and we look forward to more young artists displaying their fantastic work across the station over the coming years.”  

Northern is the second largest train operator in the UK, providing 2,500 services a day to more than 500 stations across the North of England.
