Network Rail in record £53m fine for late trains.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-28191430

Quote:

Some of the money from the latest record fine will be spent on faster wi-fi for commuter trains across England and Wales, the BBC has learned.

The £90bn plan to provide faster internet - up to 10 times faster than is currently available - should be completed within three to four years.

Commuters will be able to get a connection through equipment installed alongside the track, rather than having to find a satellite signal.

Actually the present government nationalised the East Coast rail line and as such returned £209m to taxpayers from profits so l don't think we should poo poo the idea totally.
