The London-Brighton trains

Daily Telegraph: [In the UK,] Southern Railway and T-Mobile will unveil details [this] week of the world's first train wireless broadband service. The T-Mobile HotSpot service will allow up to 8,000 daily commuters on the London to Brighton route to access the internet. It will be launched in the summer.

I always thought Italy was going to have a winning award for the antiquity of the carriage trains, till I travelled from London to Brighton.

They even still have those nice old style doors that open in every compartment and make the train looking so "Shelockholmish".

Reading about the "Hot Spots" on the London-Brighton trains looks to me like putting a lipstick on a gorilla's mouth and believing that he is going to look attractive.
