Sixteen Rotherham College students have unveiled artwork that Northern commissioned them to create a year ago.

Students Abby Heald, Charlotte Broadway, Megan France, Nathan Fashakin, Chuanpeng Zhao, Elise Barnard, Jayden Hannis, Charlie Robinson, Christy Scholefield, Harry Love, Alisha Kendrick, Nicole Zigova, Natalie Jones, Drew Richardson, Favour Ayere and Emily Curson each created an elaborate work of art, which will be on display at Rotherham Central station for the next twelve months.

The new exhibition includes paintings of the town’s landmarks and prints that Northern describes as “striking”.

The operator says that the display is part of a wider project “to bring more character and personality” to South Yorkshire stations.

The operator has previously facilitated art display at other stations in the areas it serves, including Brighouse in West Yorkshire, South Bank in the Tees Valley, and Accrington in Lancashire.

Each year, more than half a million passengers use Rotherham station, which is operated by Northern.

“We’d like to thank the students for working so hard to create this stunning display.

“We hope customers enjoy this injection of colour and creativity and take pride in the fact their station has been brightened by a group of local students who want to celebrate Rotherham’s unique history.

“I was amazed at how each individual put their spin on their view of Rotherham.”

Kerry Peters, regional director for Northern
