Travel, dining and retail hubs
Rail has become an increasingly popular mode of transport, with passenger numbers doubling over the past ten years.
In recent years we've seen the biggest investment in rail since the Victoria era. As a result, UK rail stations have become public powerhouses, delivering multi-purpose destinations, which encompass shopping, dining and leisure facilities.

Audience
Affluent and upmarket, the rail commuter audience is highly desirable for advertisers.
However, people use the train for a variety of reasons aside from just commuting to their place of work, with 43% travelling to restaurants/bars and 52% travelling to go shopping.
Station dwell time is increasing, which provides unique opportunities for deeper engagement with this audience.
