      It's only on the station platform isn't it? It says a lot about what the delays are going to be like during the Olympics.

        Love the article title. Sounds as if AtW's finally had a good seeing to.

          and it's only for Virgin customers after an initial period, non-customers will have to pay! that's not going to get much cust for the 18min commute is it??

          Will make it easier for wanna be terrorists to communicate and act tho...
          I didn't say it was your ******* fault, I said I was blaming you!

              that is EXCELLENT news for me as an existing Virgin broadband customer (maybe I can get a good deal on their mobile broadband), part of the underground journey I take in the mornings is overground and I get a connection. I thought that the only reason that they didn't do it is because of the terrorist threat with remote signals sent for detonation devices.

              Well done Boris and Branson if they can pull it off. Is it Virgin exclusive though ?

                Completely useless if it isn't on the actual train.

                Saying that, I can't remember the last time I embarked on a sweaty, rat infested, toenail clipping'd tube train,

                  Looks like Boris and Branson pulled it off.
