Light Wall, Sunderland Station
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.

Sunderland (Central) railway station, Tyne & Wear
Opened in 1879 by the North Eastern Railway, this station replaced numerous smaller termini that had existed around the town centre.
View north at the forecourt. The platforms are underneath but until the Second World War, there was an overall roof where the block of buildings behind the station entrance now are. War damage to this was never repaired, it was removed and eventually the whole station area was built over, making the platform area distinctly gloomy.
