Just to clarify - coverage will only extend to the W&C platforms at
Waterloo and Bank, there won't be coverage when the train is in the
tunnel - i.e. when passengers are on a train that isn't in a station.

Are you sure? The press release states:
"Coverage will also extend to tunnels between the two stations. This means
that passengers will be able to use their mobile phone and other handheld
devices while travelling on the Waterloo & City line."

Can we have quiet coaches on the W&C please (preferably 3 out of the 4)?!
The line is unpleasant enough in the morning rush hour as it is, with
everyone wedged in like sardines. Last thing you need is someone shouting
'YEAH, I'M ON THE TUBE!' in your ear.


They'll want tables, mains sockets, and WiFi next - should be just enough
time to log a laptop on before the train stops and they have to get out...
