National Express has said that the number of Wi-Fi users on the East Coast
railway has tripled during the first month since offering a free service.
Although it's been free for first class passengers for some time, unsurprisingly
many 'normal' passengers didn't really want to fork out the £4.95 an hour to get
connected. Now it's seen number of those connecting jump from 30,000 in December
to a whopping 100,000 in January, with more that 85 per cent connecting using a
laptop.
| "The popularity of the service has surpassed our expectations
and we are delighted to have had such a positive impact on people's
journeys." |
| Alan Hyde head of communications at National Express East
