Campaign details
District Line Disruption: No Trains Between High Street Kensington and Edgware Road
Points failure at High Street Kensington causes significant delays and partial suspension.
The advertising initiative includes banners placed at the bottom of up to 60 station roundels along the Elizabeth line. Additionally, Turkish Airlines will apply vinyl branding to platform benches at Bond Street, Tottenham Court Road, and Liverpool Street stations. The airline's branding will also be incorporated into some line diagram maps within the 15 stations managed by the Elizabeth line. A one-day pop-up display at each of these stations is also part of the arrangement.
Minor alterations have been made to accommodate the advertising, including the covering of priority seat signs on walls, with floor vinyls now serving as replacements. Some reports suggest the vinyl adhesive might even aid in dirt removal when the adverts are eventually taken down.
