Advantages: it is free and in a convenient place

Disadvantages: not always available, sometimes lags behind in it's coverage

The Metro newspaper is a free daily newspaper that is distributed throughout the UK and is estimated to be read by arond 3 million people each day. For a free newspaper it is of a high and professional standard and contains all the usual sections such as sport, business, celebrity gossip and horoscopes etc. If there are any complaints to be made they could be that sometimes with sport in particular, if a football game runs late the Metro will not have the final score in as it must be too late for them to include it. This is the case with late breaking news and so sometimes what your reading seems to be old news. The paper includes 3 sodukus as well as cartoon strips.

The major plus of course is that the newspaper is free. It can be picked up on local transport and also at some train stations. Sometimes though if you are going to work later etc the bus may not have any copies left. Not really the papers fault but it does mean that it is not completely garunteed that you will always get a copy.

The paper does make travelling on public transport more pleasurable and time pass quicker, it is therefore highly recommended.

Summary: A free national newspaper. A distinctive publication and interesting read.
