Does this mean that the trial is finished and they are going to roll this out over the whole fleet?

Price sensativity is part of the trial.

We have discussed this charge with Irish Rail and it looks unlikely to be long term its just a trial element and its likely impact is known. Since this is a trial it all could come to a halt in 3 months time depending on the business assessment
gNEr ? discredited and now compulsoraly defunct gNEr are not a good example to follow necessarily. Surely the Bus Operators would be a better model to use. I travelled by coach in the UK a couple of weeks ago.The ffee wifi was VERY popular.Add in the better working enviroment on a train and free wifi could be a major USP

Hi, one train equipped for wi-fi on the route: currently in routine maintenance, check link for updates http://bit.ly/dluoYH

I'm told the set has been split up for maintenance so it could be a few days before it gets reassembled.

The trial period will be up soon so we should hopefully get news on if a full fleet fit out is going ahead or not.

You mean they could have 2 sets partially with Wi-Fi if they wanted? ;)

Mark Gleeson 20-08-2010 22:52
There is only 1 wifi box, so only one train for the moment at least
