Are there any current plans to implement mobile phone services on the
London Underground?

What are the pros and cons of such a move?

Who would have responsibility? The contractors or TfL? Who owns the
underground radio frequencies?


Well the biggest con is that you'd have to suffer fellow passengers' inane
"I'm on the tuuuuuuube" phone calls :-(

I thought some of the LT lines already had "leaky feeder" cables laid along
the tunnels to allow mobiles to be used. I'm sure I saw an article a few
years about this - I think it was on the Central Line. Or am I imagining all
this?
