GNER (Uk train co.) is to run a trial of wifi service on one of its trains. Only catch is you have to book 1st class, sit in coach L and hope that this one train is the one that shows up where and when they tell you it should on
this site .
So at least the train may run like a snail and play havoc with your diary as well as cost you an arm and a leg but at least you'll eventually be able to tell everyone very quickly that you'll be late for that meeting.
Not sure how they will cope with the overhead wires surrounding the train though (and the tunnels, hills etc..).
Still it's something I guess...
