We measured absolute cross sections for neutron transfer channels populated in the  
94
 Rb 
 + 
208
 Pb 
  binary reaction. Cross sections have been extracted identifying directly the lead isotopes with the high efficiency MINIBALL 𝛾-ray array coupled to a particle detector combined with a radioactive  
94
 Rb 
  beam delivered at 𝐸lab=6.2 MeV/nucleon by the HIE-ISOLDE facility. We observed sizable cross sections in the neutron-rich mass region, where the heavy partner acquires neutrons. A fair agreement between the measured cross sections with those from GRAZING calculations gives confidence in the cross-section predictions of more neutron-rich nuclei produced via a larger number of transferred nucleons.
