Yes, it's perfectly possible for a micro-cell site to be installed in
the platform area: http://www.mobiledia.com/glossary/162.html

I would have thought, given the tight deadline that it wasn't high in
the list of priorities (just like the shops in the rest of the station
which were delayed in favour of more important bits of the station!) ...
but then commuters don't expect mobile phone reception in any another
below ground station


TL commmuters are used to using their phones in KXTL (and Farringdon)
so will not be happy.
