Transport for London and Boldyn Networks have been carrying out installation work to increase the mobile coverage on the Tube.

Customers can stay connected with high-speed 4G and 5G along parts of the Northern line.

The section between Balham and South Wimbledon recently got better coverage alongside 4 stations.

Further coverage is now being installed on the Victoria line between Vauxhall and Pimlico.

This follows work on the Piccadilly and Elizabeth lines to increase connections over the past year.

Work is ongoing to increase mobile connections. In the coming weeks, the Bank branch of the Northern line between Euston and Bank will receive the upgrade.

Transport for London will also be upgrading the Jubilee line in the next few months to link existing coverage at Westminster.

Three, Vodafone, EE, and Virgin Media O2 are all taking part in the rollout out which is part of the Mayor and TfL’s commitment to increase mobile connections on London’s transport.

“It’s great that these new sections of the Tube, in particular in south London and the first sections of the Northern line which serve the City of London, are starting to get mobile coverage. We are committed to bringing high-speed 4G and 5G mobile coverage to the whole of the Tube network, allowing our customers to stay connected while travelling to work, shopping or socialising. Further tunnelled sections will be going live in the coming months and we are working hard to bring the benefits of being able to stay in contact while travelling through our city as quickly as possible to the rest of the network.”

Rebecca Bissell, Director of Technology Product and Operations at TfL
