Sunderland station is entirely underground and hence has a rather gloomy appearance. To alleviate this gloom, Nexus, the Tyne and Wear transportation authority, embarked on a "Station of Light" project. One striking feature of this project was the 140-metre animated ‘light wall’ created by Jason Bruges along the length of platforms 3 and 4, with an ever-changing display of moving figures powered by thousands of individual LED units.
