Passengers travelling on the
East Midlands Train service will now also be able to access the internet thanks to a new on-board Wi-Fi service, which aggregates the signals from multiple Mobile Broadband ( 3G ) networks to deliver a more reliable connection.
The new service, which comes from
Nomad Digital, is now available on all 6 of the 7-car Meridian units and over the coming months, will be rolled out across all Meridians (27 units) and MKIII HSTs (11 units) covering journeys on the
London-Sheffield and
London-Nottingham routes.
Jayne Moyses, Sales Manager for East Midlands Trains, said:
"We're constantly looking at how we can further improve our service and we know the launch of on board internet access will make a real difference for our passengers."
First Class passengers will benefit from FREE access to the service, whilst other passengers will sadly need to pay a premium using either a debit or credit card through the online secure payment page.
