National Express rolls out supersized art competition


The work of aspiring artists could be brought to life across the side of one of National Express’ 14- metre-long coaches. The bus and coach operator’s


‘Driving Design' competition is open to creatives aged 16 to 30 who would like their artwork to be seen by millions of people across the country. Chris Hardy, managing director


at National Express UK Coach, said: “This is a unique opportunity for up-and-coming artists to showcase their work on a huge platform for a full 12 months. “The winning design will remain


on one side of a National Express coach which will then carry hundreds of passengers to their destinations every day. At 14 metres long, it could be the largest canvas they get to work on. “Driving Design heavily supports


our Youth Promise which we feel very passionately about. We are a big brand with national reach, and we want to use this to help young people get a head start in life.” UK-based artists are eligible to submit one painting, drawing, or

artist with the most votes will also receive a free 12-month coach pass, two tickets to Hampshire’s


Boomtown Fair in August and a one-to-one development day with an established artist resulting in their work being showcased at this year’s High Vis Festival in Birmingham. Entries should be sent by email to


driving.design@nationalexpress.com or by post to Driving Design, National Express House, Mill Lane, Birmingham, B5 6DD.

Lost cash to be given to charity


Cash left on trains and at stations operated by London Northwestern Railway and West Midlands Railway will be donated to charity. The first donation of


£1,076.70, which was found as lost property, has been donated to the Alzheimer’s Society, the train operators’ charity partner for the year. Any cash handed in or


found by railway staff must be kept for three months to allow the owner to come forward – but if it remains unclaimed, the money will be going to charity on a monthly basis. Francis Thomas, head of


corporate affairs for London Northwestern Railway and West Midlands Railway, said: “We want to see this unclaimed money going to a worthwhile cause. “As we are supporting Alzheimer’s Society as our staff charity of the year, this is a great opportunity give to the charity financially, in addition to the practical support we are offering to those living with dementia.”
