Mind you, I took some photos at 3am this morning at work and they came out pretty good, so the wifi should be just as great.

With a bit of luck, I'm going to try to make a post here while travelling at 125mph :D
Won't the wi-fi work the same as when GNER owned the trains?

To answer your question, I am now typing this as we speed though the London suburbs onto Peterborough, the wifi is the same setup except you no longer have to pay in Standard Class which is fantastic, you just have to enter your email and unselect the already ticked box that says you want National Express to give you information about new services from time to time.

This way, I can check my posts on various sites, check my email etc... on the way home from working a night shift at Hertford North.

This is the best thing that NXEC has done, I only hope that they hurry up and extend it to their stations, :D

Oh yes, i forgot about the free wi-fi. I agree with you and hope they extend it to their station, it would come in handy for me whilst in Peterborough :D.

If they did that we would be seeing live feeds from the more "enthusiastic" members of the community. Not saying that it wouldnt be very appreciated though as for a WCML'er it would be good to see the EC 43s Thrash :D
