Published: 6/25/2025

Network Rail has pledged to eliminate mobile phone blackspots on major railway lines and train tunnels by 2028. The project, named Project Reach, will see 4G and 5G connectivity improved on trains and in stations, with work set to start next year. Telecoms firms Neos Networks and Freshwave will install ultra-fast fibre optic cables along key routes and in 57 tunnels, aiming to enhance mobile connectivity for passengers.
