ScotRail confirmed that train services between Helensburgh and Edinburgh are next in line to receive free on-board WiFi. The work to install WiFi on the Class 334 fleet is the latest phase in the project to roll out WiFi to almost 90% of all ScotRail trains by autumn 2018.
WiFi equipment has already been fitted to all trains serving Scotland’s main inter-city routes, and the focus is now turning to ensure that other routes can keep connected on the move. Travellers from Dalmally to Dumfries will soon be able to enjoy free connections provided by supply partner Icomera.
Installation work is also shortly to get underway on Class 318 and 320 fleets, which serve Glasgow, Lanarkshire, and Inverclyde. The East Kilbride and Glasgow south-west routes will begin to see WiFi on-board from January next year. All ScotRail’s new Class 385 and High Speed Train fleets will enter service with live WiFi connections from autumn 2017.
The on-board WiFi, which will cover almost 90% of ScotRail’s fleet, is in addition to 52 hotspots at key stations across the country which offer free WiFi to customers in stations and also improve connection speeds for users on trains.
