Tell the visual story of commuters coming and going from the city, newspaper headlines of the time. Station 5 needs to tell the visual story of commuters coming and going from the city, newspapers and headlines of the time. However, the Town would also like to show/tell the story of the station closure and the pandemic. Should this be depicted as an additional station or via a 2-D panel or is there a creative way in the visual display to reflect the transition to closure of the station?
