Metro Reviews

Nothing in life is free i stopped picking up the metro paper as i am making a stand against the freeness of stuff. people talk about the global warming issues all the time, but this is contributing to that. energy is being used to produce the newspapers in the first place. when i commuted to work on a daily basis, ...

The Metro is a daily newspaper that is circulated across the UK and can be picked up from most major Train/Underground stations. And the best thing about it is that it is FREE!!! Yes FREE!!!! I commute daily on the London Underground and it is one of my highlights in the morning to read through my free newspaper which is, in my opinion, ...

I like to read. And I like things that are free. So free things to read are, well, tops in my book. Metro is the name of a national newspaper whose bits (ooo err) are customised by individual regions before it goes out. It’s published five days a week all over the country – my local one is courtesy of Trafford Park Printers. ...

Firstly, let me just acknowledge that there is more than one version of this newspaper, be it from Glasgow, Manchester, London or whatever. I only know the London one so I'll be forced to write on this. Free! The main points to note is that the Metro is a free newspaper, collectable from the train station, tube station or from the ...

I travel to uni nearly every day on the London Underground and the first thing i think of at the station is "where is my Metro!". This paper is a perfect 30 minute read and has many interesting sections. Although most of it is advertising, which is why it's free, it's better than staring into space on the tube. As well ...

I know there are regional variations of the Metro, but for the purpose of this opinion I will only comment on the London edition. The Metro is a free Newspaper widely available monday - Friday from all Tube stations and Major rail stations, the papers are available usually from 6am onwards and are always in several large dispensers. I ...

Many regular commuters into London and other major cities will already be familiar with their local newspaper, appropriately titled “Metro”. This is left at railway and underground stations each morning. The good news for commuters is that it is FREE. The even better news is that it is actually worth reading. Quite often, ...

Arriving at Fenchurch Street the first thing I do after clearing the ticket barriers is to grab a copy of The Metro. This free newspaper covers all the important political and sport news that people want to know about. The sports section is informative and always makes interesting reading. The paper seems to occasionally publish rather ...

The Metro covers too many ridiculous stories which are guaranteed to be duplicated in the even more dire Evening Standard. It pays liitle or no attention to major international news and when it does covers it with typical biases. The biggest annoyance is that so many people are read it and take it in, so they too only speak about and have ...

This year the Daily Mail decided to expand its free Metro service across the UK. That and new electronic publishing deals increased the company’s annual project expenditure from around £20m to £69m. I read the Scottish Metro. That makes a difference. Up here in Scotland the Metro is a franchise; it’s a deal between the Daily ...

If you live in London or you travel in London, you must have seen/heard of/read the daily free paper called Metro. Its distibuted freely at most major stations in the mornings so that commuters and travellers have something to read and break up their journey. By mid afternoon, these papers are looking tired and dog-eared yet still float ...

... and in the case of Metro they could well have a point. Distributed at busy train stations, bus depots and throughout the London underground, the Metro newspaper is becoming a very prolific name. Falling somewhere between the broadsheet and the tabloid, this newspaper entertains and informs the average commuter on any number of ...

Associated Newspapers, when they first started Metro in London must have been a tad concerned that it would draw readers from its well established titles, the Evening Standard and the Daily Mail. But, in fact, its 370,000-odd daily circulation hardly affects other papers since few people stopped - now they pick up a copy of Metro as well. ...

This newspaper is remarkable in all ways as its FREE - yet it still retains a professionalism that is superb. I like the size of the newspaper fits into your bag easily. But you have to travel to get it - I see it at Birmingham New Street and Coventry but you have to be early or they have all gone. I think the approach ...

Metro has now become the newspaper with the fourth biggest circulation in the country. Published in a number of regional variations around the country it has cornered the free newspaper market and is a favourite with commuters who can grab a copy as they whizz through the tube or train station of their way to work. Its popularity can ...

The metro is a brilliant free paper you can get on the buses and trains in the morning. It gives you most of the news and sport the same as the other papers you pay for do, maybe not to the same depth as some papers but it’s free so you can’t complain really. It gives you more local news as they are printed locally. I get ...

Are you like me, get up, rush out not really awake, onto the tube grab a seat and straight to a fitful sleep waking at your stop in central London groggy and not ready for the day? Well here is how to arrive awake, alert and with some idea of what is going on in the world…….METRO This free paper is available at all underground ...

I don't have the chance to read The Metro that often, as I only go into London once a week, but when I do I am very impressed with it. The quality of writing is superb for that of a free paper and the storys are condensed enough to be read fully in a 15-minute train journey. It is imformative and just like its backers The Evening ...

The Metro newspaper is an enjoyable read especially on long tired some journeys. To be honest I did not rally know such a paper existed until my husband used to come home with a newspaper stuffed at the bottom of his briefcase. Me being a loyal wife would fine a few stacked there when I would check his briefcase for something. Anyway the ...
