Wifi on GNER services

November 17th, 2006 by Daithí | Filed under Lost and Found.

I’m blogging from the 0600 GNER northbound service from London to Leeds. While those souls up in First Class get it for free, us plebs in Standard have to pay for it. However, it’s really straightforward, and also available in small chunks (the minimum unit is half an hour, which is reasonable for a train journey). It’s a pity that they don’t allow you to buy time and use it over multiple journeys (i.e. 30 mins is 30 consecutive mins from start of use), but unfortunately that’s a pretty common feature within WiFi pricing. That aside, it’s an extremely useful service, and the quality is great.

Anyway, here’s hoping that Iarnród Éireann see fit to add this to some of their services (perhaps the Cork-Dublin Express?) in the near future. Anybody?
