I’m surprised that it isn’t installed at Tate Modern museum or any museum in London that would have had those pictures. But it does look impressive.

West Midlands station receives new art installationBirmingham Snow Hill station has a new mural that shows local landmarks

Birmingham Snow Hill isn’t really a big station isn’t it. Or is it Moor Street station that is quite small and New Street station is the only one that is massive.
