Search is on for artist to create station mural

The search is on for an artist to create a mural at a railway station after £4,000 in funding was secured.

It is hoped the artwork, which will brighten up the entrance of Ashley Down station in Bristol, will capture "community spirit" as well as celebrating local rail heritage history.

Ashley Down, which was completed in September, was only the second new station in just under 100 years to open, one year after Portway Park & Ride station opened.

The mural, to be unveiled this September, is being funded by a £3,000 grant from GWR's Customer and Community Improvement Fund and £1,000 from the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority (MCA).
