People who have self-published stories could be in line to sit among more widely known authors as a city hunts to sum up its 100-year history through literature.

Robert Stephenson and his father George set up the first company in the world to build commercial steam trains.The firm produced Locomotion No 1 in 1825, the first engine to pull a passenger train on a public railway.

Stephenson also developed the London and Birmingham railway which opened in 1838 - the first intercity railway into the capital.The statue of Stephenson was designed by Italian sculptor Carlo Marochetti in the 19th Century.It was on display at Euston for 149 years until it was put into storage.

Ms Price said the statue had been leased to the museum for 10 years and had been restored ahead of its unveiling to the public again."It will look pretty much brand new," she said.

With all the trains on display at the Locomotion museum, Ms Price said it was "easy to forget" the "human endeavour" behind the feats of engineering.

"Having a statue of somebody who was so intimately involved in that kind of early story - it's just easier for people to relate to," she said.On Saturday, people took to the streets of London in response to the US position on Ukraine, marching from outside the Ukrainian embassy to the Russian embassy.

Margaret Owen, 93, accused Trump of "appeasement", saying she remembered the Munich Agreement in which western powers signed a deal with Hitler in the years before World War Two."It's outrageous. We can't let the world be dictated to by these two impossible people," she said of Trump and Putin.

The chair of the Commons foreign affairs select committee, Emily Thornberry, was among the marchers and argued for a less aggressive approach. The Labour MP said: "We want to influence the US president and we agree there must be peace. Why shout at him?"You'd get a short-term buzz from shouting at Trump but if you want to influence him, let's try and influence him."
