GNER who have offered Wi-Fi on trains since 2004 has now racked up it's millionth
customer with internet access on the move.
The service is provided by Swedish company Icomera, and
uses a combination of satellite and 3G technology linked to hotspots in each
carriage. The service is only free to first-class passengers at the present, but
when National Express
takes over
the tender at the end of the year connections will be free of charge to all
passengers, so the number of users is expected to grow rapidly.
"These numbers speak for themselves in
terms of value that rail passengers place on high quality internet
services"
"With more than 130 trains installed in Sweden and the UK, we
continue to see a steady increase in the number of users and also
the average session time, which tells us that many prefer the
comfort of the train and the possibility to stay online for work or
recreation, rather than lost time spent in planes and cars." |
