Virgin now offers WiFi services on the West Coast Main Line trains. This is offered by T-Mobile and covers approximately 70% of their train fleet.

The service is complimentary for First Class passengers. A number of package options are open to all standard class passengers, these can be obtained from T-Mobile.

To connect, you need a device with wi-fi capability, such as a phone, PDA or laptop. Most laptops now have wi-fi built in. If yours doesn't, you can buy a PC card or USB adaptor at any good computer retailer. Then simply signup or create a HotSpot account when you connect.

The rest of the train fleet will be enabled over the next few months.
