With the latest rollout of Wi-Fi, 97 stations across East Midlands Railway’s network are to benefit from a new free Wi-Fi service.
To help protect children and families, illegal or harmful content is blocked with a ‘Friendly Wi-Fi’ filter.
The Wi-Fi upgrade, which is in the process of being rolled out, will be accessible without charge so that customers can quickly and easily access data and get online with their mobiles, tablets, and laptops.
To access the free Wi-Fi service, customers should launch their browser and go to the East Midlands Railway landing page where there are instructions to get online.
Research commissioned by Evolutionary Rail Ltd. showed that a high-speed internet connection onboard trains could be vital in encouraging passengers to return to rail travel.
Network Rail is also in the process of rolling out free Wifi to the stations that it manages.
The stations that will benefit from the free WiFi service are listed at the end of this article.
“Be it for work or leisure, we understand how important it is for our customers to stay connected while they are on the move. That is why we’re excited about this project and the advantages it will provide when people choose to use our services – especially for customers who might have limited money and don’t want to use their mobile data.
“The free Wi-Fi will benefit customers on our Regional, InterCity and Connect services, making travelling with EMR more convenient whatever the destination.”
Philippa Cresswell, Customer Service Director at East Midlands Railway
