The media firm will install responsive digital screens carrying different campaigns at pre-decided timings, facilitating competent options for advertisers.

TfL commercial development director Graeme Craig said: "We had highly competitive bids from the leading outdoor advertising companies in the world, reflecting the quality and value of our estate.

"We believe this partnership can be a catalyst for transforming our stations and the wider industry."

Services under the new contract are expected to start on 1 October.

The contract was awarded as a part of TfL’s commercial plans to maximise its assets to generate non-fares revenues.

The transport authority aims to generate £3.4bn in commercial revenue by 2023, with the new contract alone contributing an estimated £1.1bn.

Earlier this month, media reports emerged about media company Clear Channel withdrawing from the bid citing TfL’s demands as the reason.

France-based JCDecaux had also participated in the competition.
