Don't know never put a stop watch on it, have you?

I use the tube quite often, it depends what line you're on. Where stations are close together I don't think theres a massive difference in the avg time spent in the station v's avg time spent in the tunnel.

Quote:
Something like 70% of the tube network is overground (i.e. already get 3G coverage)
This is for, initially, 122 Z1 & Z2 stations so mainly U/G ones.

Quote:
and many other European countries already provide 3G coverage throughout tunnels too.
Well we don't.

Actually one of the main factors in VM winning the bid is that they could deliver it in time.
