There was still a sign at Holborn a coupla years ago. The only other
one I've seen recently is at Brighton station.


A few years ago there was one about three storeys up in the arrivals hall at
Gatwick (South, I think, BICBW). I haven't checked more recently than that.
Quite why a Rabbit user would look up there to see if they could use their
phone, I don't understand.


Because that's the sort of place where they used to put the signs (maybe
to mimic the position of the actual hotspot). A new meaning for "line of
sight" perhaps.
