"More stations and underground sections of the Tube network across London now have high-speed mobile coverage, Transport for London (TfL) has said, including the first sections of the Circle and District lines. The entire Elizabeth line is covered, as are Euston Square, Cannon Street and Battersea Power Station. King's Cross St Pancras, Gloucester Road, Warwick Avenue and Vauxhall are due to go live in the next few months."
"TfL said it also expected the vast majority of the Northern and Metropolitan lines to have coverage in the tunnels by the end of summer 2026. The coverage will also host the new Emergency Services Network, which, when fully operational, will be able to give first responders immediate access to data. Work will continue throughout 2026, with installation work along sections outside central London, and where smaller tunnelled sections need to be treated individually. About 400 engineers are regularly working on the project overnight."
