People would probably be better off spending money on psychiatric sessions
if they can't go 30 mins without accessing the internet.

Depends on your plan (as ever). From 1p a minute on the £5/month plan,
to 0p (if you are on an unlimited deal).

These days people use the Internet to check things like train
timetables, and live departure boards. Or so I'm told. Will never catch
on ;-)

Can Northern & Bakerloo Train Operators expect to find a small but
significant contingent of potential passengers actually holding back
and sitting on benches or milling around whilst fiddling with
communications devices instead of boarding their trains at CX then?

They probably won't make it to the platform, having fallen off the bottom of
the escalator while looking up live running info...

If you're already at the station, it's a bit late to start going
online to check whether trains are running!

You would be checking the times at whatever National Rail station you
were heading for. For example, Kings Cross if heading north on the
Bakerloo (change at Oxford Circus).
