More sections of the London Underground's Piccadilly, Northern and Victoria lines now have 4G and 5G coverage
Today (July 10) TfL has announced that even more of the tube now has 4G and 5G, thanks to developments on the Piccadilly, Northern and Victoria lines. The latest roll-out, which is being installed with Boldyn Networks, has focused mostly on south London.
On the Northern line, the tunnels between Balham and South Wimbledon now have data coverage, as do Kennington, Oval, Tooting Broadway and South Wimbledon stations. The line's Bank branch between Euston and Bank is receiving coverage, and riders of the black tube line now have service all the way from South Wimbledon to Stockwell. By the end of the summer the tunnels between Kennington and Morden will also be connected.
On the Victoria, tunnels between Vauxhall and Pimlico now have high-speed internet, while King's Cross St Pancras and Green Park stations (both also on the Piccadilly) will soon get coverage. Tube tunnels between Green Park and Brixton are also getting 4G and 5G in the coming months.
Recent developments in the roll-out of internet coverage on the tube follow the news at the end of last year that the entire Elizabeth line – including tunnels and stations – now has 4G.
Commenting on the newly-covered stations, Deputy Mayor for Transport Seb Dance said: 'The introduction of 4G and 5G along further stretches of the Northern, Piccadilly and Victoria line means even more Londoners will now be able to stay connected on the Underground, reading, streaming or catching up with loved ones.
'This is yet another step towards delivering the Mayor's commitment to rolling out 4G and 5G across the whole Tube network, building a better London for everyone.'
Here's a map of all the London tube stations and tunnels that now have 4G and 5G coverage.

US Bank completes first fully digital trade finance transaction
US Bank has completed its first trade finance collection transaction using the WaveBL electronic trade documentation platform. 0 In the transaction, US Bank served as the presenting bank for the exporter, a large publicly traded firm. Container shipping company MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company issued the electronic bill of lading and facilitated the shipment. Previously, says the bank, such a transaction would have required a courier to physically transport documents across continents, often taking several days. By contrast, the digital process reduced that timeline to minutes - eliminating delays, enhancing security and compliance, and avoiding disruptions from weather, pandemics, or geopolitical events. 'Our clients are looking for smarter, more efficient ways to manage their import and export activities,' says Christine Bravo, SVP, US Bank. 'This fully digital process is a step toward delivering the speed, transparency and reliability businesses need in today's trade environment.'

More sections of the London Underground's Piccadilly, Northern and Victoria lines now have 4G and 5G coverage
London is slowly but surely making internet and signal blackouts on the tube a thing of the past. Over the past couple of years TfL has gradually been rolling out 4G and 5G coverage on the London Underground, with the Central, Northern, Jubilee, Piccadilly, Victoria and Bakerloo lines all now boasting sections with high-speed internet coverage. Today (July 10) TfL has announced that even more of the tube now has 4G and 5G, thanks to developments on the Piccadilly, Northern and Victoria lines. The latest roll-out, which is being installed with Boldyn Networks, has focused mostly on south London.

'A real nuisance' - Londoners have their say on the city's e-bike boom
Wherever you go in London, e-bikes whizz past on the road or are left scattered across the pavements. The controversial modes of transport have become a key part of life for Londoners in the capital since they were first launched in 2018. Many people swear by them as a convenient and way to get into work, while others curse the day e-bikes were first brought in. One thing everyone can agree on is the parking problem. Despite being given designated spots by London's councils, bikes are often seen piled up on street corners and blocking pavements, making life difficult for disabled people and those with buggies. But the e-bike boom appears to be far from over. Car-hailing app Bolt has announced it will launch thousands of new bicycles in London this summer. Bolt promised it will not add to the 'problem' around e-bike parking, saying people who flaunt parking rules will be fined. We asked Metro readers what they think of another company adding to London's clogged-up pavements. While Londoners were divided on how they feel about e-bikes in general, one thing people appeared to agree on was clamping down on illegal e-bikes. Derek described e-bikes as a 'blooming pain,' while Danny called for them to be 'banned' as they are a 'menace to society.' Meanwhile, Simon argued e-bikes are 'brilliant, more bikes, fewer cars, happier and healthier Londoners.' Andy said: 'They can be very useful, or a real nuisance, depending on how they're managed. 'There really ought to be more regulation about parking them sensibly, and not blocking the pavement. The technology and laws already exist to enforce it.' John said: 'They just turn into more littered junk left in all the wrong places.' Jamie said Londoners need to ask themselves whether 'you'd rather have an extra 20 kg 15mph e-bike on the road, or a 2,000 kg piece of heavy machinery on the road.' Londoners are also concerned about illegally modified e-bikes. Last year, police seized a 'death trap' e-bike capable of travelling at 70mph. Roberta said: 'As long as they don't go 45mph, as some do. Leave room for pedestrians, no problem.' Sarah said: 'Legal ones ridden sensibly with consideration for the road conditions, pedestrians and other road users, no problem, but many are souped-up illegal ones that go faster than they are supposed to go. 'Hint – if the rider doesn't need to pedal at all, they are illegal.' Some people called for e-bikes to be licensed and riders insured, like drivers are, but others disagreed. Ruggiero said: 'The notion that ordinary pedal cycles should have number plates and insurance is daft. By contrast, the suggestion that hire bikes and especially illegally modified electric bikes should be identifiable is sensible.' Londoners are also fed up with e-bikes being ridden on the pavements. Nikki said: 'You can't even walk on pavement. We are now getting them left in our Emergency Entrance and all over the pavement outside our flats. They should fine riders and also they should be docked. More Trending 'Sick to death of them. Feel sorry for blind people, disabled and people with prams. It needs to be sorted out. Can't believe another bike company coming.' Ryan added: 'E-bikes are the future and until mass proper cycle lanes are built like in other nations, then the pavements and frankly anywhere will be used.' Krzysztof said while the e-bike boom is a 'positive trend,' he argued that rental e-bike riders are 'pedestrians on bikes' rather than experienced cyclists. 'Not cyclists. Please bear that in mind when you judge cyclists,' he added. Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@ For more stories like this, check our news page.
