The commuter service, which carries passengers between Oxford and central London, has rolled out Wi-Fi to its 25 vehicles using a Wi-Fi and a 3G network.
The Oxford Tube will now offer coach commuters the chance to get online thanks to a Wi-Fi/3G connectivity combo.
The commuter service, which carries passengers between Oxford and central London and is operated by Stagecoach, has rolled out Wi-Fi to its 25 vehicles using a Wi-Fi and a 3G network -- the former supplied by Moovera Networks, the latter by mobile operator Vodafone.
The service is on offer to Oxford Tube passengers following a three-month trial, which saw 7,000 travellers use it for an average of 41 minutes per session.
Those logging on will be connected to Vodafone's HSDPA network, for speeds of some 1.4Mbps, via Moovera's Wi-Fi Moovbox, which will transmit connectivity around the vehicles.
Other business traveller favourites to have installed Wi-Fi for users include GNER, the Heathrow Express and Virgin Trains.
