Metro

I love the word “FREE” - it is definitely, and categorically, the most Beautiful word in the English Language. When this Beautiful word is linked to the words ’Daily’ and ‘Newspaper’ - Then you have my absolute, unswerving and - undivided attention. I still remember that happy day when myself and good lady jumped on a bus going into Glasgow Town and noticed something different, everyone had their faces 'stuck' in a newspaper. Whit !! Now - where we live and get on the bus, no-one can afford a newspaper, that was why we noticed the difference. Then we noticed that there was a wee ...  Read the complete review

I do not often travel by train - maybe only a few times a month for work. However when I do travel by train one of the only things I look forward to is picking up my free copy of The Metro. This newspaper is excellent. The fact that it is available daily and is free makes people much more likely to pick one up - if I was a company looking for somewhere to advertise it is certainly a paper that I would consider. Each time I travel I see lots of people reading this paper and there is such consideration by people leaving it behind them on the train for the next peson to peruse and while away some time with! The are various sections within the paper ...  Read the complete review

I have to say that as far as free newspapers ...  Read the complete review

I get the metro (mode of transport not newspaper) to college everyday and it is about a 30 minute journey. If no one I know is getting the metro at the same time, that is can be quite a boring journey as I have seen the scenery a million times before. My favourite thing about the metro newspaper is that it is free. Second favourite thing is that they are on a stand, not being handed out by anyone, so you are completely free to choose if you want one and don't feel like you are being pestered. As for the contents, it has the main news story or two for the day, but the rest of it is just random articles. Some are rather entertaining, you ...  Read the complete review
