New Luton Railway Station art aims to show towns good side

An artist hoped her new paintings at Luton railway station would show visitors “the best scenes people don’t usually see”.

Aimi Rix partnered with Network Rail, and Govia Thameslink Railway, to create 15 pieces about the people of Luton with a focus on nature, landmarks and the railway.

The finished artwork, which includes scenes such as Wardown Park and Capability Green, were on display on platform walls, the footbridge, stairs and in waiting rooms.

Ms Rix said: “We’re always in the news for bad stuff and I wanted to show some good stuff.”
