WiFi boost for East Midlands Trains
East Midlands Trains’ plans to equip its services to London with a new on-board WiFi system is close to being complete, it has confirmed. It says a total of 27 Meridian trains can now provide access to the internet and four of its High Speed Trains fleet have also been fitted with the technology.
The plans were put into action in September this year and are due for completion in early 2011 when the remaining seven High Speed Trains will be able to provide its passengers with internet access.
David Horne, customer service director for East Midlands Trains, said: “We are very pleased with how the WiFi service has been received by our customers. Now that the Meridian fleet has been completed, customers will be able to access WiFi on the vast majority of our trains to and from London.”
The WiFi service is complimentary to all first class passengers, with other passengers having to pay a small charge.
