Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Vere of Norbiton on 7 June (HL8052), what date they have set for train operators to provide a commercial case for retaining Wi-Fi services on their different service groups; and what assessment they have made of Evo-rail's provision of South Western Railway's installation of superfast 5G on the South West Main Line.

The Department wrote to its operators on asking for information on the commercial case for passenger Wi-Fi on trains. We expect a response shortly.

On behalf of South-Western Railway, Evo Rail’s installation of superfast 5G is in progress.
