GNER Extends Train Wi-Fi
Posted: 31st Mar, 2006 By: MarkJ
Rail operator GNER has begun extending their broadband wireless (Wi-Fi) service to include all its East Coast Mainline trains in the UK:
GNER began trialling on-board Wi-Fi in December 2003 and has since equipped ten of its Mallard-class trains, which run between London King's Cross and Leeds, Newcastle, Glasgow and Edinburgh. This week it said it was accelerating the roll-out, bringing the wireless technology to the rest of the Mallard fleet and to its 13 remaining diesel High Speed Trains.
Access is offered to First Class passengers free of charge; Standard Class travellers pay £2.95 to £ 9.95 for 30-180 minutes' access.
The Register reports that the project should be completed by August 2006, sooner than the original May 2007 date.
