Euston Station's Giant Screen Restored for Train Departure Updates
Network Rail reverses controversial advertising use of the screen, addressing passenger complaints and safety concerns.
- The giant screen at Euston Station will once again display train departure times starting Wednesday evening as part of a trial by Network Rail.
- The screen, previously used for advertisements, was turned off in October following widespread criticism from passengers and safety concerns over crowding.
- The change comes as part of a five-point plan to improve passenger experience at the station, which serves over 36 million travelers annually.
- Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander praised the move, emphasizing the need for immediate improvements during the busy festive travel period.
- Network Rail advises passengers to continue using smaller screens on the concourse during the trial, with full functionality of the large screen expected next week.
