LITTLE Matilda Clough may be only six - but she's a force to be recognised when it comes to the art world.

Her dramatic painting of a train in the midnight sky will soon be seen in thousands of homes and offices on GNER's official Christmas card.

Matilda, above, who attends Fishergate Primary School, in York, was one of thousands of youngsters up and down the country who entered the contest run by the York-based train operator.

Her design was one of just six to be chosen by a panel of judges to be printed as Christmas cards.

As a prize, GNER bosses have arranged an overnight stay for her and her family at a top London hotel, with tickets to a top West End show and first-class rail travel.
