A colourful community artwork was unveiled at Wokingham station to mark 200 years of Britain’s railway network.
It was overseen by artist Jo Werrett, of adult social care provider Optalis, working with the Wokingham Learning Disability Partnership Board.
Contributors, including members of the CLASP self-advocacy group, painted toy wooden railway pieces in different colours and designs.
The CLASP community choir then sang outside the station, which opened in 1849 – almost 25 years after the country’s first railway service launched.
The three organisations are working to make local rail travel more accessible through measures like an Easy Read station guide.
The unveiling was led by Wokingham town mayor, Cllr Louise Timlin, who supports CLASP as her mayoral charity, and supported by South Western Railway and the Southeast Communities Rail Partnership CIC.
