Mobile phone coverage on the Waterloo and City line

In what respect? Althought they don't run trains as long as LU, they are definitely standard gauge and have a bit more height than the deep tube lines, and although I don't have measurements to hand I'm pretty sure they are substantially bigger than DLR as well.

I suggest you read the article again: "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." U |

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... Paul |

My utmost apologies for leading people down a blind alley - I didn't intend to, though I suspect that is the defence of many a cartographically confused navigator. |
