It has been confirmed that TfL is planning to allow mobile phone use whilst in tunnels on Crossrail trains. Tfl also suggests that they will evaluate the success of the Crossrail initiative before rolling out across the tube network. This means the technology will not even be considered until well after 2018. Bearing in mind that my report 'Calling All Stations' found that TfL is already well behind other major systems in terms of connectivity, does the Mayor believe that waiting almost a decade for such a system is an unnecessary delay?
