Adverts to return to Euston station departures board

  • Network Rail is reintroducing advertising on a large screen at Euston railway station, following criticism in 2024 when it replaced the main information board.
  • A two-week trial will begin on Monday, using the screen's outer sections for adverts, while the central part will continue to display passenger information.
  • Advertising on the screen ceased in October 2024 after the then-transport secretary ordered improvements at Euston due to concerns about overcrowding.
  • Network Rail says that any future revenue generated from advertising will be reinvested into station improvements benefiting passengers.
  • The station has also seen other measures introduced, such as longer boarding times and clearer signage, following an improvement notice from the Office of Rail and Road in 2023 regarding overcrowding.
