DFT confirmed that a historic agreement between the government -owned network Rail and the government has been signed. Telecom Companies aim to eliminate the NeOS network and freshwaves, calls dropped for passengers and passengers and long -to -long issues of weak signals.
‘Project Reach’ was named, in the initial stage the NEOS network will be installed 1,000 km (621 mi) Ultra-Fast Fiber Optic Cable, which is accompanied by major arteries including parts of the East Coast Main Line, West coast main lineGreat Western Main Line, and Chilterne Main Line.
DFT has expressed the ambition to expand this cabling network ahead of 5,000 km (3,107 mi) in the “near future”.
Completing this rollout, the freshway will target connectivity issues, especially within 57 tunnels, with about 50 km (31 mi) track will be covered.
This includes infamous blackspots such as the chipping sodbury tunnels near the Bristol, which promises a more spontaneous digital experience even in already challenging areas.
As part of the deal, mobile network operators will also invest in new 4g And 5g Infrastructure on these 12 rail station: Birmingham New Street, Bristol Temple MeadsEdinburgh Waverli, Euston, Glasgow Central, Kings Cross, Leeds, Liverpool Lime Street, Liverpool Street, Manchester pikadiliPadington and Waterloo.

Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said: “It is a game-changer above and below the country for travelers, and will revolutionize the trip from Padington to Penns and Edinburgh to Euston.
“By promoting connectivity and dealing with signal blackspot, we are also ensuring a more reliable and efficient service.
“This means better travel for passengers supporting our comprehensive plan to change the goals of economic development and digital innovation.”
The installation of infrastructure under the project access is expected to begin next year and to be completed by 2028.
