Interesting link, thanks. It answers my question - GSM-R and GSM/3G can
use much of same kit and that as usual contractual details lag behind
the technology.

Subterranean mobile coverage in the London Underground has certainly
been been looked at several times, but it's never come to fruition -
e.g. see:

Seems quite possible but it's contracts again. Perhaps this is one
thing that Boris shouldn't have expected to get for nothing.
