Train Wifi Uk

The wifi on the train in the U.K has long been a joke.

We have two main legs that stretch vertically through the UK and into Scotland.

These service millions of people annually. Trains offer the opportunity to create rather than consume. Yet for some reason unknown there is little appetite to sure up the connectviity on these main arteries.

Railways in the UK - unlike motorways - often run through land that is unlikely to offer a good investment for telecoms companies.

This means there is very little incentive to build the towers required

Moving Target

Trains are moving. Tunnels, other vehicles, congestion when railways run parallel with motorways.

Along side the lack of organic signal and the lack of investment, the technology is signifcantly harder.

5G is a high power, high attenuation. Which means that it is - at least compared to the older standards of 3G and 4G, less suitable for high speed trains.

The UK govt. are looking for increased growth and entrepneurship. The UK is one of the easiest places to start a business due to it’s online services.

Despite me wanting people to create rather than consume, I acknowledge that it may also be a win to allow to consume longer form content on trains

Due to the size and length of short form, people often instead resort to this as a attention.

Benefits

I’m entirely convinced that trains should be the main way for long journeys on mainland Europe. The UK is close to the top of that list due to the lack of natural disasters and challenging

The only thing stopping us from doing so is a lack of positive narrative and a opportunity to level up our infrastructure nationwide.

HS2 was a disaster, and small legs of high speed rail focused around passanger numbers from city to city hubs should be the main aim.
