GNER trains have wireless Friday, January 19, 2007
I'm travelling up to Newcastle from London for a meeting by train. Its a journey I've not done for years.
Cautious with my money, I'm travelling standard class. So I was delighted to see even these carriages have
- wireless internet access on board
- at seat power sockets for laptops/phones
How times have changed such that
- the trains are evidently listening to customer needs which helps in trying to compete against low cost airlines
- customers feel the need to be online much more. Are we far away from an "always on" expectation amongst the mass market (which the mobile phone has probably created anyway)
