London Underground tunnels are very small, so there's not much space for anything to be added. Many are lined with iron. Phone service was discussed many times in the past, but the phone companies didn't seem willing to pay what it would cost to install it.
(It's nothing to do with bombs.)
- ksec 3y agoBut this is Elizabeth Line. The newest additional line in London Rails opened in 2022. I expected 4G and 5g coverage from the get go. Not one and half year later. It would have been much much more impressive if it was the Central line.
- Symbiote 3y agoSorry, I'm mixed up with other discussion on this post, and the article which also discusses other lines. I'd assume the project to install 4G/5G on the Elizabeth line just overran, or would have delayed opening the railway. The wording in [1] isn't completely clear, but suggests this was supposed to happen in 2022.
