Network Rail and Transport for London (TfL), the two bodies due to offer contracts for new London freesheets to newspaper groups, are plotting to award a joint contract, in a move that could be seen as an attempt to squeeze a higher sum from bidders.
TfL's contract would give a media owner the right to distribute a new title from all of its London Underground stations.
Network Rail, which owns every railway station in the UK and manages the largest 17, would allow its preferred bidder to distribute newspapers from Charing Cross, Euston, Kings Cross, Euston, Paddington, Victoria and Waterloo among others.
