Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment she has made of the adequacy of WiFi services on government-operated rail services.

The Government recognises the need for more reliable on-train connectivity for passengers. We are therefore progressing plans to introduce Low Earth Orbit satellite connectivity across approximately 1,400 mainline trains, significantly improving Wi-Fi availability and performance. With the necessary approvals in place, implementation will begin in the New Year, aiming to complete the rollout within three years. In parallel, Project Reach will improve mobile connectivity through 57 tunnels.
