Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government with reference to business plan commitments and service agreements incorporated in franchise agreements with various train operating companies which include the provision of onboard Wi-Fi provision, what legal options are available to remove free Wi-Fi services for customers.

The Department has written to its operators asking for information on the commercial case for passenger Wi-Fi on trains. The Department will consider the initial responses from train operators, including any further implications, in due course.
