Following service launch in early September 2010 (here), Nomad Digital has now completed most of its work and announced that passenger Wi-Fi is available on East Midlands Trains' entire Meridian fleet (27 units) covering journeys on the London-Sheffield and London-Nottingham routes.

Additionally four of the eleven MKIII HSTs have passenger WiFi installed and, over the next two months, the service will be rolled out across the MKIII HST Fleet. Nomad has a 5 year contract to provide its on-train technology, which includes payment services and a passenger helpdesk.


The new service has apparently been well received, gaining plenty of positive passenger feedback. The service is complimentary to First Class passengers and available for a small charge to Standard Class passengers. The Wi-Fi service can now also be utilised by corporate customers using iPass services.
