Retail in our managed stations

Our 19 stations are some of the busiest travel hubs in Great Britain and over 700m passengers pass through each year. These stations have become destinations where people come together to shop, eat and drink with a range of retail units to let perfect for any business eyeing the travel market. We use passenger insights to learn about the shops and restaurants customers want. And we combine this with our industry knowledge to offer retail units that boosts customer satisfaction, increases time spent in our stations, and raises spending. For businesses eyeing the travel market, we’re the top choice. We offer both long-term leases and short-term pop-up rental properties at many of our railway stations, bringing you closer to your customers with rental spaces perfect for your business.

On average, over 700 million people pass through our managed stations each year. We work in partnership with brands and retailers to create extraordinary places where commuters, workers, residents and local communities enjoy unique retail experiences in exciting, contemporary surroundings.
