WiFi installation complete on East Midlands Trains' services to London

New service now available on entire fleet of 27 Meridian trains

WiFi installation has now been completed on all East Midlands Trains' services to London.

East Midlands Trains piloted onboard WiFi on six of its key business trains in September this year.

The new WiFi service is now available on East Midlands Trains’ entire fleet of 27 Meridian trains, which are used to operate the majority of services from Sheffield, Derby and Leicester to London, and a number of services between Nottingham and London.

The new WiFi service, which is currently being installed on all train services to and from London, offers passengers easy access to the internet, email and other online applications.

First Class passengers will benefit from complimentary access to the service, whilst other passengers will need to pay a small charge.

East Midlands Trains is turning its attention to the High Speed Train fleet, with a total of four now having been fitted with WiFi, and the remaining seven trains to be completed by early 2011.

David Horne, Customer Service Director for East Midlands Trains, said: "We have also introduced the iPass corporate WiFi facility which is being used by our customers."

"We now provide complimentary access to the internet through our First Class lounges at Derby, Leicester, Nottingham and London St Pancras and the newly-opened Business Lounge at East Midlands Parkway."
