Network Rail has announced a two-week trial at Euston Station for ads on the outer sections of the big screen over the concourse. Starting Monday, the center part will keep showing train information for passengers. This follows heavy criticism last year when full ads replace the main info board to bring in revenue. The company says they've used customer feedback and lessons from that time to shape this pilot. Passengers and watchdogs like London Travel Watch complained about last-minute platform calls that cause rushes and left staff overwhelmed by crowds. To fix ongoing issues, Network Rail is rolling out upgrades this spring, including a revamped, assisted travel lounge, extra seating, and a new customer service hub. They've also added longer boarding times, better signage, and layout tweaks.
