When the City of London began kicking off the Elizabeth Line with funding, one requirement was 5G coverage. Finally, customers travelling on the Elizabeth Line now benefit from high speed 4G and 5G mobile coverage on the entire line, above ground, at stations and while travelling in the tunnels.

Following all Elizabeth Line stations and the first tunnel sections between Paddington and Liverpool Street getting mobile coverage earlier this year, TfL, and Boldyn Networks (Boldyn), have now finished works to bring mobile coverage to the entire Elizabeth Line.

This means hundreds of thousands of customers travelling across central London to Whitechapel, Stratford, Canary Wharf, Custom House, and Woolwich will enjoy seamless connectivity as they travel between stations.

Bringing high-speed mobile coverage to London’s underground stations and tunnels means that customers can stay connected as they travel around the capital and share all the exciting things London has to offer. It’s also a key component of TfL and the Mayor’s plan to help Londoners stay safe while using the network. All four mobile network operators – Three UK, EE, Vodafone, and Virgin Media O2 (VMO2) – are taking part in the rollout. As well as bringing complete mobile coverage to the Elizabeth line, mobile connectivity also continues to expand coverage along the Northern line towards Morden, as well as between Kings Cross and Moorgate by the end of the year and into early 2025.

Coverage on the Bakerloo line will shortly be extended along the tunnelled sections between Piccadilly Circus and Embankment, with further stations along the line, as well as the Piccadilly and Victoria lines, set to get coverage in the coming months.

Along with providing customers greater freedom to explore the internet and contact friends and family, the expanding coverage will also give our staff better connectivity to pass on information to support the safe and reliable running of the network, as well as host the new Emergency Services Network (ESN). The ESN, when fully operational, will give first responders immediate access to life-saving data, images and information in live situations and emergencies on the frontline.
