That's nothing - the coach to Cambridge from here has Wi-Fi too (and leather seats, air con...)



Actually, I have broadband access almost everywhere - even in the LR or on the KTMs: I have a dongle for my laptop.  :D

I dont even need a dongle!

The nokia 5800 has a program you can get which turns your fone into a wifi hotspot - so you can connect to it wirelessly whereever you go!

But the train internet has been better as u dont lose signal every so often lol

What are these train things you talk about??

We have a line that comes into Fishguard Harbour, but rarely see any trains on it these days??

As for buses?????? If I wanted to take my kid to school on the bus instead of the car, I would have to set off at 8am to do it! Thing is, I would then be outside the school at 8:15 am!! But there are no other buses that would get her to school on time!!!

She could walk there in 20 mins! (which she will when she's older!!)

I'd be happy if I could get faster than 500k broadband at the house..... never mind fancy hotspots on trains!

You'll be fine - the X5 has at-seat power sockets. So do some trains.

I think they're the long things that trundle past my house five times a day, going very slowly with about ten squashed-looking people on board.

I won't use the Heart of Wales line again until they get some decent rolling stock. The interiors of the current units seem to have been designed by the same people who invented the veal crate. My knees had visible marks in them from the back of the seat in front!

I thought those were what we got anyway?  :lol:

Bring back the 1st generation DMUs, with big squishy seats and a view of the line over the driver's shoulder!
