Best-loved railway art unveiled after global vote

A global vote has unveiled a shortlist of the UK▸ (United Kingdom)'s best-loved railway artwork to celebrate 200 years of the modern railway.

Twenty paintings have been selected, nine of which are held at the National Railway Museum in York.

The public has now been invited to choose an outright winner to be announced on 9 June, the birthday of rail pioneer George Stephenson.

Shortlisted artwork includes paintings by 14 artists, such as renowned railway painter Terence Cuneo.
