We can't run the service properly but you'll have wi-fi

Somewhere tfl's priorities are a bit jumbled. As I go into the office twice a week I listen to the traffic bulletins on the local radio stations. Plenty of cancellations due to a shortage of drivers, lack of trains and stations closed owing to a lack of staff. Don't worry though, the old ''I'm on the train'' will soon be heard underground. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/london-tube-underground-4g-three-ee-crossrail-b973082.html

You'd have to ask them.

And as the wifi will work another easy option for terrorists to use for co ordinated attacks using mobile data and connections.Presumably TfL have firewall that possibility?

Yes, time to get out those earplugs.However:"The delivery of mobile phone coverage on the London Underground was signed via a concession agreement so that the cost of installing it will be funded by BAI at no cost to TfL, while TfL will also earn revenue from the contract over its 20-year lifespan."https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/blog/2021/12/21/three-and-ee-to-provide-mobile-phone-coverage-across-the-london-underground/
