Tunnels between Liverpool Street and Paddington now have 4G and 5G mobile coverage. TfL says.
The first tunnelled section of the Elizabeth line in London now has high speed mobile coverage, Transport for London has announced.
Passengers travelling between Liverpool Street and Paddington are now able to access 4G and 5G mobile coverage in the tunnels.London’s Transport Commissioner, Andy Lord, said: “It’s wonderful to see our programme to introduce high-speed mobile coverage now benefitting customers on the Elizabeth line.
The project, implemented by Boldyn Networks, is part of a wider plan to introduce 4G and 5G mobile coverage across the whole Tube, DLR and Elizabeth line network, as well as between Highbury and Islington and New Cross on the London Overground. Amir Dawoodbhai, 23, who is part of TfL's Youth Panel, says mobile coverage on the Tube and Elizabeth line "enhances" young people's perception of safety as they travel through London independently.TfL said about 500 people work overnight across the Tube network to install mobile equipment, with all works tidied away before the network opens to customers each morning.
Billy D’Arcy of Boldyn Networks said the latest tunnel connections would "benefit a huge number of passengers".Tram strike called off as dispute 'resolved'Approval of skyscraper as tall as The Shard delayed
