Wi-fi is now available on GNER's entire fleet - it is the first rail operator to offer a wi-fi service on all its trains.
The company, which operates the UK's East Coast line, installed the technology on all 41 trains ahead of schedule, with the £3.2m project originally due for completion in May of next year.
Following GNER's lead, Virgin Trains announced all its carriages will have onboard wi-fi by 2007. At the moment only the privileged first class passengers have wi-fi access on Virgin Trains.

Need to update the BT Business Units:
BT Internal Business Units changed in 2007: BT Exact more or less equates now to BT Design, the old BT Wholesale is now labelled BT Operate; the new BT Wholesale is now about wholesaling and is the smallest internal unit. BT Retail and BT Global Services remain pretty much as before.
