Wi-Fi on West Coast
 

All of Virgin Trains fleet operating the West Coast Main Line are now fitted with enhanced Wi-Fi. All 56 Pendolinos and 20 Voyagers have now been fitted with improved equipment which has led to a significant improvement to the speed of connections. Wi-Fi remains free in First Class and chargeable in Standard Class. Our clear ambition is to make Wi-Fi free and fast for all passengers but that requires substantial investment in trackside infrastructure to supply the bandwidth needed, and we are in discussions with interested parties.

We will shortly be installing Wi-Fi across our 17 managed stations and some areas within Network Rail managed stations on the route for access by all passengers free of charge. Euston and Preston are due to be ready in June, and several others by July 2015.
