Title: "Internet connected" option in seat reservations Post by: James Vertigan on June 12, 2010, 20:48:12 Just noticed that on the FGW ticket booking website it now gives you the option of booking a seat with an internet connection available.
Does this mean FGW are adding wi-fi to trains (at last) or is it just a standard option on the National Rail booking system? Can't say I've noticed it before.

I'm not sure FGW are ever going to get Wifi unless they replace the HST stock are they?

"Mobile phone coverage on the Western is generally good, allowing business travellers to keep in touch with their emails via 3G, and thus there are currently no plans to install wi-fi equipment on FGW."
