The sculptor, whose sculpture "The Meeting Place" was slammed by critics in 2007, says while his newest creation will likely spark some controversy, he is convinced it will receive a "positive" response, The Sunday Times of London reported.

"If certain images cause a small amount of offense, I'm sure that will be heavily compensated for by a sense of joy ... that the other images will give," Day said. "It's balance, it's contrast. The overall effect, I think, will be very positive."

Day's new sculpture was commissioned by the station's owners, London & Continental Railways, and features a number of railway scenes, including one commuter about to be run down by the speeding transport.

The bronze sculpture is to be placed next year on the same station platform that the "Meeting Place" sat before critics called for the statue of an embracing couple to be removed, The Times said.
