All of the underground Elizabeth line stations gained 4G coverage earlier this year and now coverage has been extended into the tunnels between Liverpool Street and Paddington (inc the tunnel to Royal Oak). The tunnels east of Liverpool Street to Whitechapel, Canary Wharf and Woolwich will be connected across the summer.
Boldyn Networks is delivering the rollout and has around 500 staff working mainly at night to deliver phone coverage across the London Underground, DLR, and Elizabeth lines, as well as between Highbury and Islington and New Cross on the London Overground.
Boldyn Networks is carrying out the installation work after being awarded a 20-year concession in June 2021 to build and operate the phone network in the TfL stations. It provides the service at no cost to TfL by leasing the capacity to the mobile network operators.
As well as providing mobile coverage to Elizabeth line tunnels, mobile connectivity continues expanding across the London Underground in Central London. Recently, Hyde Park Corner and Russell Square stations on the Piccadilly line started to receive coverage, and further sections of the Northern, Bakerloo, Piccadilly, and Victoria lines are anticipated to go live in the coming month.
