Calling at all stations: tube passengers to get 4G reception from next year

4G mobile technology will launch on Jubilee line and will be extended to other lines

London Underground passengers will be able to use their phones in tunnels between stations from early next year, removing one of the last major public places in Britain without phone reception and creating new challenges to commuter etiquette.

Transport for London confirmed to the Guardian that 4G mobile phone technology would go live in tunnels on most of the Jubilee line from March 2020 and on other lines in the coming years.
