FREE wireless internet has been launched on trains between the Capital and Glasgow as part of a new £250,000 trial. Passengers will have access to wi-fi on one in every ten journeys between the cities, giving them faster access to e-mail, internet and social media sites while the service is piloted. If successful, free wi-fi will be rolled out on a permanent basis, with MSPs hoping to see the technology introduced on trains throughout the country. The move is the first step towards the Scottish Government’s long-term goal of rolling out wi-fi throughout Scotland, allowing passengers online access during their journey.
