Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate he has made of the cost to Network Rail of fitting the track side infrastructure required to provide free wi-fi access for passengers on the West Coast Main Line.

Network Rail is leading on the infrastructure work to enable the introduction of on-board 4G Wi-Fi on Virgin Trains. This project is currently being developed further and Network Rail may be able to advise on the current estimate of the costs of installing the track side infrastructure required.
