Elizabeth line: Wraparound screen plans spark backlash
Available for over a year
Plans to install huge wraparound video adverts in Elizabeth line stations have raised fears that commuters will be "bombarded with ads". Transport for London's (TfL) advertising partner Global said it wants to introduce "world-first immersive formats" such as digital screens covering the walls and ceilings of the line's underground walkways. TfL said they were in early development and will be tested and assessed before they are introduced. But City Hall's Green Party said the "digital wraps" could spoil the "beautiful, calming" design of the Elizabeth line, stations, which recently won the Stirling Prize for Architecture Âé¶¹Éç Radio London's Aaron Paul has been speaking to Caroline Russell from the Greens about their concerns.
