BTOpenzone are starting a six month trial of Wifi access at Charing

for more details.


Can Northern & Bakerloo Train Operators expect to find a small but
significant contingent of potential passengers actually holding back
and sitting on benches or milling around whilst fiddling with
communications devices instead of boarding their trains at CX then?


They probably won't make it to the platform, having fallen off the bottom of
the escalator while looking up live running info...
