London Underground and Virgin Media have named the first London Underground stations that will be WiFi enabled for free this summer.
Stations including Oxford Circus, Stratford, Liverpool Street, Leicester Square and King’s Cross will be among the first to launch, with around 80 stations WiFi enabled by the end of July.
Virgin Media’s next generation WiFi service will be made available to all Tube passengers for free throughout the summer.
Gareth Powell, London Underground’s Director of Strategy and Service Development, said:
“Our customers will soon be able to connect to the internet for live travel information while they are on the move through stations.
“Bringing a next generation WiFi service to one of the world’s oldest underground transport networks is progressing as planned and the forthcoming service is testing well.
“The first stations include some of our busiest and most well-known destinations and we’re on-track for a successful launch this summer – all delivered at no additional cost to fare payers or tax payers.”
Virgin Media and London Underground engineers are continuing to test and prepare the forthcoming WiFi service.
