Heathrow Express gets Wi-Fi
The operator says that the service will commence early in 2007, providing 5,3m passengers per year with broadband speeds of ‘up to’ 8Mbps for their entire journey.
Customers will be able to purchase an access pass on-board the train, and will be able to continue to use the pass at T-Mobile hotspots at Heathrow or at various other locations in Central London. T-Mobile hotspots are already available at a number of hotels, Starbucks coffee shops and Borders bookstores.
A spokesperson for T-Mobile said that while the 23-minute Heathrow Express journey time may be brief, it could be sufficient for business people to check e-mail or send important files if they are rushing for a plane.
