This from the BBC...
The first on-board TV service for train travellers in the UK has begun.
The service, which passengers have to pay for, has been introduced on some high-speed trains operated by the First Great Western (FGW) rail company
Presumably to ensure picture quality FGW will now dispense with cleaning train windows?

On train entertainment - First Great Western fail to spot market moved on years ago eg laptops playing DVDs
UPDATE: This from a Mr Saltaire...
As reported on The Eye (and the BBC), I sampled the Volo equipment on a First HST today..... it’s rubbish!
The content is all repeats of old TV shows, and the equipment is in one coach (D) of Standard Class only.
Alas, our elected representatives (but not our brave boys) look set to be spared this indignity.

GWR always different, eh?
GNER, GC, Amtrak, DB, Virgin, etc must have been barking up wrong tree.
