Nearly 50 London Underground stations will have phone signal by the end of this summer as the project to bring mobile coverage to the whole of the network continues.
Coverage is already available on parts of the network by virtue of some stations being above ground - as well on certain sections of track underground such as the Jubilee Line between Westminster and Stratford.
But the latest works in a project that has been taking place for two years mean that 4G and 5G coverage will now be accessible at 46 stations for the first time.
This will include some stations on the Elizabeth Line with some Victoria and Piccadilly line stations added - and more to follow in central London later this month.
This would see large sections of the the West End and southern end of the Northern line connected, while data coverage at some other stations has already gone live.
Nearly 25 per cent of the London Underground now has phone signal as the project to bring mobile coverage to the entirety of the network continues

The Elizabeth Line section between Bond Street and Liverpool Street is expected to get coverage within the next month - as the entire line could have work to install phone signal completed later this year.
Meanwhile, the section of Piccadilly Line track between Piccadilly Circus and Hyde Park Corner on the Piccadilly line will also go live in the coming weeks.
On the Northern Line, signal will soon be coming to the tracks between Stockwell and Morden while work is set to start soon on the Bakerloo Line.
Currently, around 31 out of 121 Tube stations and tunnels that are underground have mobile coverage.
When combined with Tube stations which are above ground, this amounts to 80 per cent of stations across the entire network.
Around 500 TfL staff have worked overnight for over two years to install more than 2,000 kilometres (1,242 miles) of cabling and thousands of radios into stations and tunnels since work on the project began in 2022, per BBC News.
The phone providers taking part to install coverage are among some of the most widely-used in the UK - including Three UK, EE, Vodafone, and Virgin Media O2 (VMO2).
In further good news for passengers hoping to receive mobile phone signal at other stations across the capital, Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has committed to completing work across all of the London Underground, Docklands Light Railway (DLR), London Overground and the Elizabeth line by the end of 2025.
