The vibrant arts scene accessible on the rail network is being promoted this summer as ‘Art on the Line’.

Southern Railway is publicising exhibitions and events at galleries and venues close to railway stations.

The Artful Journeys website includes tips and suggestions for exploring places including:

:: Rembrandt in Brighton as part of the National Treasures on tour

:: Quentin Blake exhibition at Hastings Contemporary

:: Look Again supergraphics festival in Newhaven

There are also lots of ideas for places for art lovers to explore in the Thameslink Art Trail by Rail.
