Summer statue on tour

Listen to this article

East Coast has put up a statue of Olympic athlete, Jonathan Edwards, at King’s Cross.

The life-sized sculpture was made entirely from used train parts by sculptor Ptolemy Elrington. Says Jonathan Edwards, ‘The sculpture is very striking and really took me aback when I first saw it. It’s incredible to think it was possible to create such a structure from old bits of train, but it has been crafted brilliantly. I am honoured that East Coast has commissioned the piece.’

The sculpture will be exhibited at main stations along the East Coast main line this summer.
