Northern has announced it will name a train after rugby league legend and motor neurone disease campaigner Rob Burrow.

The operator is now working with Rob's family and the MND Association to create artwork for the train that pays tribute to him and raises awareness of the condition.

The train, due to be unveiled later this year, will be seen by tens of thousands of people as it covers hundreds of miles every day.
