SIR – News that about £90m is to be spent on improving internet access on trains, including routes into Leeds and Sheffield is music to my ears.
I have heard many folk complaining about the non-existent, or at best, very intermittent, wi-fi access on trains in Yorkshire and it is high time that this problem was remedied.
More and more business people spend their commuting times working on their train journeys and lack of mobile phone and internet connection can be frustrating.
It is right that the wi-fi service should be free and in my book the fact that a £53m fine on Network Rail for late trains will partly pay for this makes it all the sweeter.
