Transport for London (TfL) has revealed plans for full 4G services across the entire Tube network.

The Jubilee Line will be the first to benefit, with the eastern half to get full mobile connectivity on both platforms and tunnels from March 2020.

There are already 260 wi-fi-enabled stations on the London Underground and on TfL rail services.

Shashi Verma, chief technology officer at TfL, commented: “We have begun the complex work to allow our customers to be able to get phone reception within our tunnels from March 2020, with more stations and lines coming online during the coming years.”
