What it is
Cross-track digital at 48-sheet scale, facing the platform from the opposite wall and carrying full motion. It sits in platform trackside walls in central london, bought in 2 weeks bursts running Monday to Sunday. Artwork is supplied to the specification above and goes through copy clearance before the on-air date.
Why advertisers use it
Audiences are standing still with nothing else to read. Typical exposure is the full platform wait, which is why the format works hardest for impact at interchanges and awareness with motion.
Cost
£2,000 per panel, per 2 weeks. Rates move with zone, station footfall and trading period: January and August are the softest, the Christmas run-in the hardest. Production is quoted separately.
Booking and lead time
Six to eight weeks ahead is the sweet spot: it protects both the price and the quality of the sites you get. Station dominations and peak trading periods need longer. Copy clearance sits ahead of the on-air date, so leave room for it in the schedule.
Stations to consider
Per site inventory has not been audited yet, so these are the highest footfall stations rather than a confirmed availability list.
