Mobile signal blackspots to be eliminated on many of the UK's major train routes
Train journeys can be frustrating at the best of times - with passengers having to put up with delays, noisy commuters or a lack of available seats.
However, train users could soon have one less thing to worry about as mobile signal blackspots - where the internet cuts out and pauses your favourite TV show or game - are set to be eliminated on many of the UK's major train routes by 2028. The move, called Project Reach, comes after the Department for Transport (Dft) signed a deal with Network Rail and telecoms companies Neos Networks and Freshwave.
The installation of infrastructure is expected to begin next year and will initially see Neos Networks install 621 miles of ultra-fast fibre optic cable along parts of the East Coast Main Line, West Coast Main Line, Great Western Main Line and Chiltern Main Line. There is an ambition to expand the cabling beyond 3,107 miles in the "near future.
