London Underground to get 4G phone signal in Tube tunnels from TODAY
TfL says that the new 4G service will only be available on a central section of the Jubilee Line for now.The trial stretch will run on the Jubilee Line , between Westminster and Canning Town in mid-2020 – but excluding London Bridge and Waterloo until late 2020
However, not all lines will benefit at launch: only a section of the Jubilee Line will receive the upgrade to begin with.However, two of the busiest stations – London Bridge and Waterloo – will be excluded from the trial.And other busy stops on the Jubilee Line fall outside of the trial stretch, including shopping hubs Bond Street and Stratford.
"And we are excited to see the future potential of this project as it expands across the tube network." "We know how valuable that is, and this switch on aims to pave the way for a wider rollout across the Underground."Wi-Fi signal is not available in underground tunnels, however.
