How will this fit in with the byelaw preventing the use
of radios and personal stereos on the UndergrounD?

There is no such byelaw. However there is a byelaw which
says that no-one is allowed to use equipment for the
reproduction of sound "to the annoyance of any person" -
which is slightly different.

So using a stereo with decent headphones is perfectly
legal.

Another bye-law will be passed only permitting tuning into
LU Digital Radio networl

=:-)

Perhaps they should provide every passenger with a headset, then they be
able to broadcast up to the minute travel info. :-))

But if they did that, they'd have to develop a special reverberation filter
to render the announcements unintelligible (as for PA announcements on tube
platforms) or only employ announcers with strong non-English accents who
were unfamiliar with station names or even the English language ;-)
