Shame he can't just provide 3G GSM signal and let us go through that way. Probably costs a bit but other cities manage it.
It might well cost a bit (a lot actually, the London Underground is one of the largest underground systems on the planet), but it will also provide a nice easy way for terrorists to set off bombs.

Yes, I know we have that risk on trains, buses and the DLR as well, but they don't have a nice confined tunnel to focus the blast back on to the train (and therefore the passengers).

Monumentally stupid idea, IMO.
