The White Room (www.thewhiteroomcec.com) are developing an arts strategy for GMPTE - looking at how art might enhance the experience people have on Greater Manchester's transport network.

This blog will provide a window into this work; sharing quotes, vox-pops, and examples of cities across the world have fused public art with public transport to great effect.

We need your input in this process - there's no excuse to get involved - whether your an artist, a member of the public or one of our strategic partners...share your thoughts.

A familiar site for anyone travelling into Manchester City Centre from the south of the region by train. Just ahead of touching down at Piccadilly, many a train will stop on the stretch of track immediately opposite the old Great Universal building. One Twitter-er (BrokenDrum70) recently joked that it might be livened up by “…dancing robotic laser pumas on the roof, or something”. Thanks to  Gene Hunt for this image from Flickr.
