The vast majority of the Northern and Metropolitan lines should have coverage by the end of the summer.

Three UK, EE, Vodafone and Virgin Media O2 are taking part in the rollout, while it’s expected there will be high-speed mobile coverage across the whole Tube, DLR and Elizabeth line network by the end of the year.

Isabel Coman, director of engineering and asset strategy at TfL, said: ‘It’s great to see further progress in our goal to introduce high-speed mobile coverage across our Tube network.

‘The latest stations and tunnels going live means that we are on a clear path towards having 4G and 5G mobile coverage across the whole network by the end of 2026.

‘Engineers are working hard overnight during the limited engineering hours to deliver this programme and we hope that customers enjoy benefitting from being able to stay in contact with friends and family, shop online and stay on top of the latest news and sports results while travelling across London.’

Nick Hudson, chief operating officer for the UK and Ireland at Boldyn Networks, said: ‘Our long-term partnership with TfL to extend reliable 4G and 5G mobile coverage across the London Underground is grounded in improving everyday journeys for millions of people.

‘A project of this scale demands extraordinary engineering effort and close-knit collaboration with TfL, with work often carried out overnight in one of the world’s most complex transport networks.

‘We’re immensely proud of what’s been achieved so far, and each section completed brings us closer to our goal of creating a more connected London for those who visit the city and those who call it home.’

In 2021, London mayor Sadiq Khan said the Underground would have mobile coverage throughout by 2024.
