Passengers travelling on any of GNER's trains will be able to surf wirelessly by the end of
the summer. The roll-out of Wi-Fi access started
back in 2004 and so far 30 of
newer trains already have the service, which means that passengers on the
route which links London King's Cross with Leeds, York, Newcastle, Edinburgh and
Glasgow can now connect to the internet and even view their progress along the
journey online.
"Wi-Fi offers immense potential for both business and leisure
passengers, and the feedback we're getting as the technology spreads
across the GNER fleet is very encouraging,"
"When the whole GNER fleet is Wi-Fi equipped, we will operate Britain's
first all-Wi-Fi train fleet" |
| Jonathan Metcalfe GNER chief operating officer |
Passengers need a credit card to pay for the service but those on first class
services can get it for free, both on the trains and in the station lounges.
Prices range from £2.95 for 30 minutes to £9.95 for 24 hours access.
