BBC Some services operating out of Inverness will have the technology on a trial basis
ScotRail will use Elon Musk's satellite technology to supply passenger wi-fi on trains for the first time during a six-month trial. Six trains in the north of Scotland have been fitted with equipment that connects to the low Earth orbit (Leo) satellite network Starlink. The trains operate on the Inverness to Wick, Thurso, Kyle of Lochalsh, and Aberdeen services. ScotRail said the new system was a first for the UK in terms of onboard passenger wi-fi and, if successful, could be rolled out to south of Scotland services.
