No geographically challenged [emoji6]. The fact is that west coast don't have the length of franchise left to justify the investment required to get wifi working well. Will be much better post next bid.
Think you might have our East Coast services mistaken for our West Coast pendolinos? I'll wager you £1k that I could take you on any of our trains and you'd be able to browse anything other than video streaming pretty well between London and Edinburgh.
As I work for VT East Coast its worth pointing out that the Taxpayer is getting far more money from Virgin in premiums than East Coast made in profit. We have also invested over £21 million in rolling stock refurbishment, brought in free wifi, better catering, upgraded all station lounges...
