Moves to introduce 4G across the London Underground continue to advance, with confirmation on Thursday that a 4G pilot scheme on the Jubilee line between Westminster and Canning Town is to be made permanent.

The pilot began in March 2020, allowing passengers access to uninterrupted high-speed wifi in the stations and tunnels of the eastern end of the line. The wider aim is for a 4G – and 5G ready – network to be in place across the Underground by the end of 2024.
