United Kingdom-specific troubleshooting

Things that can go wrong in United Kingdom.

London Underground deep-level lines (Victoria, Central) still have spotty cellular on platforms. Free Wi-Fi is available at most stations.
Scottish Highland glens north of Fort William have EE-only coverage — choose an EE-preferred plan for hiking.
Welsh Snowdonia trails have patchy signal everywhere; expect offline stretches above 600 m.
