Applications to upgrade Twickenham bus shelter advert boards has been approved by Richmond Council.

The two separate applications from JCDecaux UK Ltd, will allow Transport for London's (TfL) advertising panels at bus stops outside 12 Heath Road and 50 London Road.

The advertisement board is a double-sided unit with one side facing waiting passengers and the other visible to pedestrians.

JCDecaux UK Ltd, who are in charge of ads displayed at TfL bus stops, propose no change in the physical elements of the shelter or advertisement display.

TfL said: "The display screens will continue to show commercial messaging and real-time passenger information.

"The change relates solely to the ability to show subtle animated content in line with TfL's guidance and in accordance with the VAMM threshold."

TfL added: "The ability to change messages remotely through a secure ISDN line and to synchronize messaging across the entire network, which is both time sensitive and area specific, offers an unparalleled opportunity to improve the experience for the travelling public. 

The revamp to the bus shelters are expected to begin on 31 March 2026 and be completed by 1 April 2026.
