Advertising Opportunities
Bus
Advertise on the most seen medium in town and influence spend amongst high street shoppers across the North West. 62% of people across the region notice adverts on buses each week. Bus advertising delivers far wider coverage than local press and radio; in Manchester alone, a bus advertising campaign reaches 55% more of the population than the Manchester Evening News and 66% more than Key 103.*
National Rail
Deliver your message to an affluent and upmarket audience with platform advertising on Arriva Wales, Northern Rail and First TransPennine rail networks, as well as on-train opportunities on the Central Trains network. The average traveller dwell time on platform is seven minutes and new research shows that the longer your audience spends with your campaign message, the more likely it is to be remembered and acted on.
Merseyrail
2.5 million passenger journeys are made on the Merseyrail network every month. Advertising here will deliver your message to commuters and leisure-seekers across the area.
Metrolink
20 million passenger journeys per year - 55,000 passengers per day travel into the heart of Manchester for their commute, shopping trip or to meet friends. 73% of these passengers use the system every day leading to high frequency, familiarity and increased dwell time. Manchester Metro carries interior and exterior opportunities, plus 4 Sheets at tram stops.
