Six more London Underground stations now offer high-speed mobile coverage to customers

 

Transport for London (TfL) has announced that a further six London Underground stations have started offering high-speed mobile coverage to customers, as the next stage of its project with BAI Communications’ (BAI) project to bring coverage to the Tube network gathers speed. 

Customers travelling between Holland Park and Queensway on the Central line, have started to see 4G and 5G ready mobile coverage as of 21 December 2022, with coverage between Kentish Town and Archway on the Northern line having gone live at the end of December 2022. Coverage will be in ticket halls and platforms, as well as in tunnels between those stations, allowing customers to get the latest travel information, access social media, check their emails, make calls and stream videos whilst on the move underground. 

All four mobile network operators – Three UK, EE, Vodafone, and Virgin Media O2 (VMO2) – are taking part in the roll-out, with customers on EE and Vodafone able to access coverage as of 21 December 2022 and customers on Three UK and VMO2 gaining access in 2023.

Together with the existing 4G service on the eastern section of the Jubilee Line between Westminster and Canning Town, which had been made permanent in April 2022, around 10 per cent of Tube stations with platforms that are underground will be providing 4G and 5G ready coverage to customers.
