Welcome on board! In 1825 the Stockton & Darlington Railway opened in North East England – a journey that changed the world forever. In 2025 Railway 200 is commemorating this anniversary in a year-long celebration of the modern railway.


The railway has often inspired artists – and to celebrate this enduring connection, Art UK and its museum partners have compiled a longlist of 200 artworks featuring the UK railway.


You can now choose your favourite artworks, as part of a partnership between Art UK and Railway 200.


To vote for your three favourites from a selection of 200 please visit the voting website.


The voting deadline is midnight on Friday 11th April 2025. You will need to register to vote.
