On Tuesday I travelled up to Leeds from London with GNER. I travelled First Class (is there any other way? Actually by buying two advanced single tickets this is cheaper than the standard return fare that the company travel bureau use!) and in First Class you get free wi-fi (if the train is wi-fi enabled). One of the justifications for travelling this way is that I can get up to date with my morning e-mail as I travel using the wi-fi, but it didn’t work out that way because the wi-fi on the train was rubbish! I managed a stable connection for about 3 minutes before the train departed Kings Cross then for the rest of the journey the wi-fi signal was mostly non-existant. When it did appear it wasn’t long enough even to get a routing table to even access the train’s proxy:(

Still, as the alarm hadn’t gone off and I’d had to dash out of the house without any breakfast, the bacon toastie and free tea was nice:)
