4G rollout is still going on with some new stations brought online recently, all operators except O2 are now activated.
Apparently the activation of new stations/O2 has been delayed due to a safety issue, can anyone confirm if this is the case, or what the delay on O2 coming online is?

A safety issue?
Are O2 users more prone to walking off platform edges than the other zombies?

No I read they've paused bringing any new stations online due to a safety concern, have no idea what that is, read it elsewhere. O2 haven't activated their service at any of the existing stations when all the other operators have. I wonder what the hold up there is. |

TfL own staff mobiles are O2. Just saying. I have no idea. Draw your own conclusions .Especially about zombies.

Wifi would not be better from the technology side. If nothing else, the cellular radio technologies are built for devices to enter & leave their coverage areas with a minimum of disruption; the wifi/801.11 process for associating with a new access point is a gigantic mess and has never scaled well.

Quite happy about this! Wifi is great if you're walking through the station but quite hopeless when you're on a train.
I've found there have been many times when I've been sat at the front of a train and my phone has locked on to the first wifi access point in the station. By the time the train's stopped, this access point is now at the other end of the platform and the phone is still trying to contact it. By the time it finally gives up and locks on to the closest access point, the doors have closed and the train's pulling out. I've often found the only way to get wifi working is to manually turn it on when the train is about half way into the station. The phone then connects to the AP that's nearest to the front of the train and away it goes.
I've also had occasional problems with authenticating on the WiFi Extra network which seem to be station specific and intermittent.
The roll out of cell phone signal is fantastic; my phone just gets handed off between the cell outside the station to the cells inside the station seamlessly and away it goes. The only downside is having to listen to other people's phone calls on the deep level lines!

Is there an update on when phone service will be activated on the Elizabeth Line?
