On 20th November there was a short reception at Redhill station, an event held to thank a student from Redhill College who accepted a challenge to create a stunning piece of recently installed artwork. A competition organised by the East Surrey Arts Society invited students to submit a design.

This particular artwork was chosen not only because it is a very clever, eye-catching design but also because it ties in perfectly with the 200 years of Railway celebrations which start in January 2025.

Dave King was there to cover the proceedings. He began by talking to Sharon Gray, the Community Rail Development Officer.
