Londoners had their say on how they would improve London Underground stations and react to mobile network being accessible on the tube.

Transcript

00:00 They're going to introduce 4G and 5G to London Underground station.

00:06 Our question is, if you could improve London Underground stations in any other way, what

00:11 would it be?

00:12 What could they bring in now?

00:13 Well, there needs to be more bodies on the ground, more staff around, to be honest, because

00:16 some places, especially at night, especially the ones in South London, they close the ticket

00:21 offices early and you have to go through side entrances.

00:24 Not good, not a good look.

00:25 If I was a woman, I wouldn't be too happy about that, but they need to have more staff

00:29 around in the evenings.

00:31 Well, the summer certainly tells us that we need air con pretty badly.

00:36 It's available on some of the modern ones, but the older ones, not so much, and it's

00:40 a pretty awful experience all round.

00:43 So if I could have anything, I think it would be air con.

00:47 Air conditioning, for sure.

00:48 It's too hot, always, every summer, so definitely would try and get air con.

00:53 I know it's difficult for them to do, but I'd prefer that over 4G, personally.

00:59 I think it might create a situation where people would just start talking really loudly,

01:06 just like on the train, on the overground.

01:09 Sometimes people aren't even aware of it and they're really, really too loud.

01:15 And it doesn't, it takes away from the ability to just be calm and quiet and just relax while

01:23 you're on the train, not have to hear other people's conversations.

01:28 Water dispensers in the platforms, and yeah, it's alright.

01:34 Just modern life, isn't it?

01:35 Everyone's online now.
