Free Wi-Fi is to be extended across all Chiltern Railways commuter services from mid-February.

The Department for Transport has provided support which is enabling Chiltern to extend on-board Wi-Fi coverage to every train, including services between Marylebone and High Wycombe, Beaconsfield and Gerrards Cross.

Chiltern Railways were one of the first train operators in the UK to introduce free Wi-Fi in 2011. 

Dave Penney, managing director of Chiltern Railways, said: “Free Wi-Fi will soon be available on every Chiltern Railways train providing even more opportunity for passengers to get things done, whether this be finishing a presentation and checking email during the working day or ordering groceries on the home commute to claim back family time.

“The service has been available on our long distance trains since 2011, but this investment allows us to fulfil our aim to cover all services by extending free Wi-Fi to an additional 1400 services per week.”
