In the past, there has been discussion about allowing mobile phone
operators to install base stations below ground and provide some
coverage for folks on trains. This is yet to happen?

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

Of course it won't, the political interests on the Multi £B Tetra gravy
train
would be proved to be the piglets they are should GSM be introduced
on the tube

I've travelled on Hong Kong MTR which has had GSM using leaky feeders
since at least 2001, as long as callers use a little discretion it works
fine.
