Design: Do The Locomotive Artist: Anna Rawles and Jennifer Rodgers  About the artist Anna and Jennifer met while studying at London College of Fashion. A keen interest in visual arts, film and theatre, props and special effects, encouraged them to collaborate and have been doing since. Current projects have included creating puppets for the Natural History Museum, props and set for a one woman show at Kew Gardens and a bus sculpture for the Year of the Bus Sculpture Trails in London.  About the design This bus explores the evolution of public transport and displays how far the industry has come. One side shows the contemporary tram system, which centres around Croydon. The other side shows an example of an older form of train travel, a 19th century steam train.
