Huw Lewis, Director of Customer Services, said: “It’s been a really tough time for everyone, not least the small businesses in our stations, so we thought the time was right to do something extra to support them, and offer a nice treat to our customers at the same time.
“We’re delighted with the number of customers who have come back to Metro this year, and we’re expecting to see more over the festive period, as people finally enjoy a Christmas night out or a festive day with the family. We wanted to say a little thank you to them for their support.

Metro says its passenger numbers on trains are currently 90% of the pre-pandemic levels.
