No, I hadn't heard anything about those either. (Free) Wireless would be good though! Perhaps when EC56 comes to FGW▸ (First Great Western) land they might keep Wireless in it.

No they are not going to happen.  Deemed too expensive with the limited time left until replaced by the IEP▸ (Intercity Express Program / Project. This will offer more capacity on routes, save money, give a consistent and safe service and meet customer requirements. Intended to replace HSTs.)  Grin

I dont think they are relly needed anyway..... does the average passenger read them? 

Shame there re no plans for free wireless though.
