There was an announcement many months ago that mobile phone coverage
below ground would not be implemented.
Hurrah!

It's more a case of it *can't* be implemented. You can barely hear
someone shouting at you from a few feet away, let alone someone coming
over a tinny phone speaker.

Maybe what's needed is a data-only service (hence wifi being an option)
although when I had a Rabbit phone it worked fine in between trains on
the deep tube, and a conventional mobile phone is fine at sub-surface
stations if you can get a signal.
