There's a massive section of route, pretty much between just before Sedgefield and Durham, where the data reception is going to be pretty rubbish.
When I've been in the Sedgefield area I don't attempt to use the internet because I can't get signal.
The WiFi on Sapphire X4/4 after about Marske is just a waste of space, I rode it on the first day and I ended up sat in front of some young lads all the way from Marske to Whitby and the whole way all I heard was "the f***ing WiFi doesn't work" which was more annoying than the lacking of WiFi signal, it will probably be the same when the MAX B9TLs enter service on the X93.
Even the signal on the 7 isn't perfect, it often drops out between Cock O' the North and DurhamGate.
