3G/phone signal on City Thameslink route?

[youandiaredominoes]

Does anyone get the train from Peckham Rye/Denmark Hill which goes to E&C, Blackfriars, City Thameslink, Farringdon, St Pancs and get a good phone signal on the way?

Mine is very flaky and I certainly don't get any signal from City Thameslink to St Pancras (except for a short window at Farringdon). But, I still see people using their phones, either surfing or even taking a call... Is anyone else able to do this?

Hello!

I do that route every morning! The service is good from Peckham Rye (no service going through Denmark hill tunnel and sometimes flaky at the actual station), all the way until you enter into City Thameslink, then no service until the second set of escalators when leaving St Pancras station!!

I usually listen to the radio, when there is no service, i'm checking my emails which have downloaded to my phone...I suspect people are doing the smae or watching video content or playing games.... I've not really seen people taking calls though.

If the inanities I'm usually subjected to reached these dizzy heights I don't think I'd mind so much. Did they give marks out of ten?

Hi OD - thanks for removing some of the mystery. I have seen people speaking on their phones in City Thameslink station which I've always found odd. Can you listen to the radio with no signal? What app do you use? I'd love to get 6 music in the mornings. I mainly use the time between blackfriars and st pancras reading all the tweets from my feed in the last few hours, which is useful for my work.

E-dealer - I know exactly what you mean ;-)
