Train Thru Pizza Delivery
Over the August Bank Holiday weekend, Trainline and Domino’s delivered free pizzas to passengers’ seats on selected Lumo trains via a handover at Preston Station. The playful “Train Thru” stunt turned the familiar challenge of timing a takeaway delivery around a train journey into a memorable piece of travel theatre, supported by survey data about passengers feeling hungry en route.
Why it worked: It hijacked a predictable pain-point window (mid-journey hanger) with a live logistics stunt at a single handover node, making irresistible visuals and headlines.
The lesson: Consider staging a one-stop “handover” stunt that solves a timed inconvenience in public, then back it with quick survey stats.
