Recently it appears that Three stopped supporting the Virgin WiFi networks on TFL underground stations, and instead we're meant to use Three_WIFI access points.
Unfortunately it appears there are stations in central London where Three no longer offers service. For example, the Northern Line at Waterloo no longer has access to WiFi in the underground. Although I can still see the Virgin AP, I don't see Three's. And of course, we can't login to the Virgin AP any more.
Is this a known issue, and is there a planned resolution for the problem?

Are you still able to login to that? I've tried, but there's no longer an option to login with three. Instead you get a placeholder instructing you to use the Three_Wifi AP. I suspect this *may* still work for people who logged in months ago before the change, but who knows for how much longer.
Definitely doesn't work for me on my new phone though:-(

Hi @Ecs79,
I'm sorry to hear that you're also having difficulties connecting to the Underground Wi-Fi service. There's an ongoing investigation into why some stations don't have the Three_WIFI service showing.
Looking into this requires coordination with 3rd party suppliers, so unfortunately it's taking longer than I'd hoped, but I'm sure we'll get this sorted out, and I'll be sure to update the thread as soon as I have any news I can share.
Thanks,

Thanks. How do I make sure I get notified when there’s an update?

I have just travelled from Woolwich to Paddington and back and only one station - Canary Wharf has a Three SSID and when it tried to use it, it said my connection was refused. Absolute mess.

I have been telling three for ages that all networks are available on the Elizabeth line except three. It's been months now. Very annoying 😑

Still no Eliz line Three Wifi access.
Virgin appears to be disabled for Three users.
Is there any update?
