Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether there will be a minimum service requirement for broadband on train services under Great British Railways.

There have been no discussions around the minimum levels of service for wifi or broadband on trains under Great British Railways. However, officials are looking more widely into different solutions to improve passenger connectivity, such as a low earth orbit satellite and neutral host solutions to improve connectivity via Network Rail’s ‘Project Reach’.
