Default Dartford tunnel radio reception

Is there a relay transmitter in the dartford tunnel?


Yes

I assume there must be since some stations remain clear even in the
centre but how come only some work? Heart is clear , LBC disappears
into static about 100 metres in. Do the stations have to pay a fee to
be re-broadcast?


I think they do, which is why only some stations are clear (Radio 4 LW
always seems to work, and I think Five Live on MW, amongst others. There
is also a feed through the tunnel for some mobile phone services.
