London is making internet and signal blackouts on the tube a thing of the past. Over the past couple of years TfL has gradually been rolling out 4G and 5G coverage on the London Underground, with key lines now boasting sections with high-speed internet coverage.
Paul Kohler, the local MP, stated, "This is an international embarrassment. This is one of the jewels in the crown of British sport and people can't even get to the championships on time because the train won't get them there."
The power outage caused significant disruption on the Bakerloo line and resulted in severe delays on the Jubilee, Northern, and Elizabeth lines, stranding some commuters.
This weekend, essential maintenance work will disrupt several stations on the London Underground, Overground, and Elizabeth Line, emphasizing the need for passengers to plan ahead.
