I'd have an Attractive Local Feature board at <i>every</i> station, even the ones where there doesn't seem to be anything of interest, and I'd have pieces of sculpture everywhere. The good thing is that Merseytravel has a Public Art Officer, a woman named Emma Lawrence, and she's doing a pretty good job. The Art on The Network competition will hopefully also produce something worth seeing. You could turn Merseyrail into a year round, permanent version of the Superlambanana hunt!<br /><br />Though if you did that, every bugger would be trying to visit all the stations, and they'd steal my thunder ;-)Scott Willisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284196034782356946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329761583210135212.post-15832257738431556112009-09-06T14:09:28.639+01:002009-09-06T14:09:28.639+01:00They look great.

I hope they commision more (and different) art at the... shall we say... boring stations! :D It'd be a good way of getting more people off the train at places like Manor Road and Meols! The Stockholm Metro has art at every station (though some of it is debatable!), it'd be great if we could aim for something like this in the future. Imagine what they could do on the disused James Street platform?!Sean O'Briennoreply@blogger.com
