Ysgol Bro Ddyfi School create artwork for Machynlleth Station

Students from Ysgol Bro Ddyfi School in Machynlleth have created new and vibrant artwork for the station at Machynlleth.

The project, in conjunction with Arriva Trains Wales and the Cambrian Railways Partnership has culminated in 8 pieces of art created by students at the school depicting various destinations on the Cambrian Lines.

"These pieces of art have certainly added some vibrancy to the station waiting room," said Cambrian Railways Partnership development officer Rhydian Mason.

"They currently take pride of place in the station, and a number of passengers have commented on the striking images that are quite evocative."

David Crunkhorn, Station Manager said that this project was a fine example of how a community or schools based project can inject so much colour into a station.

"Putting their artwork on display like this has really made a great diference to the atmosphere of the waiting room. The pupils have created unique pieces of art which are of a very very high standard indeed. We're very proud to be able to put them on display, and they are a very fitting advertisment for passengers, businesspeople and tourists about the fantastic locations that you can visit on the Cambrian Line."

The 8 images are on display at the station in Machynlleth, and visitors are welcome to come an see the growing collection of artwork prepared by local people at the station.
