If I remember correctly, a large number of the New vehicles on order this year, are to be fitted with WiFi, including the E300s for Teesside, so chances are, the firm installing the WiFi will have been awarded the contract to do ALL of the New vehicles, having bid for the contract to do so.
I am clearly not in a position to know, whether the WiFi installed in the first batch of GAS buses, is the same provider that is providing the second batch.
Clearly, Stagecoach are paying for the vehicles to have WiFi, so I am sure that they would expect it to work properly, otherwise what's the point.
All Icomera I believe, Richard. Same as Arriva (Sapphire) and Go North East.
The problem I faced on the new gas buses was replicated from previous experiences I've had with both ANE and GNE.
They did get them out into service awfully quick this time around, and the first batch had quite a lot of time to be set up and tested. I'd assume this is the reason why this batch is having issues?
