The Metro is part of the same media group as the Daily Mail, The Mail on Sunday and the Evening Standard. The Metro has a contract with London Underground allowing it to distribute the paper inside tube stations unlike the Free evening newspapers who set up stalls outside stations. This delivery van is parked on the A400, Kentish Town Road For more on the Metro visit Wikipedia's article on it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro_(Associated_Metro_Limited) or the papers own website http://www.metro.co.uk/
context_page_description: The Metro is the United Kingdom's highest-circulation print newspaper. It is published in tabloid format by DMG Media. The free newspaper is distributed from Monday to Friday mornings on trains and buses, and at railway/Underground stations, airports and hospitals across selected urban areas of England, Wales and Scotland. Copies are also handed out to pedestrians.
  Metro is owned by Daily Mail and General Trust plc, part of the same media group as the Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday, but in some areas Metro operates as a franchise with a local newspaper publisher, rather than as a wholly owned concern. While being a sister paper to the conservative Daily Mail, the newspaper has never endorsed any political party or candidate, and claims to take a neutral political stance in its reporting.
