Network Rail has launched a "five-point plan" to make journeys smoother after complaints about the signage at Euston.

Euston railway station will be displaying live travel information instead of adverts on its main digital screen from next week.
The former advertisement board will switch to train times as part of a new Network Rail trial.
The adjustment aims at providing clearer travel updates for passengers across the network.
The initiative is part of a five point plan aimed at improving passenger experience at London Euston station, with the official first rail test beginning on Wednesday evening.
I’m pleased to see Network Rail taking action and making progress on its five-point plan to alleviate some of the issues faced at Euston – particularly at this time of year, when the festive period brings an increase in passengers.
Heidi Alexander, Transport Secretary
The change comes after passengers complained about unclear train information displayed on a smaller screen, whereas advertisements were allocated to the wider board.
Gary Walsh, Network Rail’s west coast south route director, said that they have listened to passengers and are launching the five-point plan to “make journeys smoother for everyone.”
Following a trial service, where the advertisement screen was turned off in October, the Network Rail received a positive response. Many passengers have expressed that they have been able to board trains earlier, in a more relaxed pace, especially during rush hour.
