Boost for Derbyshire rail passengers as EMR rolls out new free Wi-Fi at stations – including Chesterfield, Derby, Alfreton, Belper, Matlock and more
Commuters and travellers in Derbyshire are set for a boost – as EMR rolls out new free Wi-Fi at a number of stations across the county.
East Midlands Railways (EMR) is to install new free Wi-Fi at 97 stations across the region it serves – benefitting passengers at a number of stations across Derbyshire.
The Wi-Fi upgrade, which is currently being rolled out, will allow customers to quickly and easily access data and get online with their mobiles, tablets and laptops without any charge.
Derbyshire stations where upgrades are taking place include Chesterfield, Derby, Alfreton, Belper, Matlock, Long Eaton, Shirebrook and Duffield.
Customers can access the free Wi-Fi by launching their browser and following the instructions on the EMR landing page. The service also features 'Friendly Wi-Fi' to filter illegal or harmful content, to help protect children and families.
Philippa Cresswell, Customer Service Director at East Midlands Railway, said: “Be it for work or leisure, we understand how important it is for our customers to stay connected while they are on the move. That is why we’re excited about this project and the advantages it will provide when people choose to use our services - especially for customers who might have limited money and don't want to use their mobile data.
“The free Wi-Fi will benefit customers on our Regional, InterCity and Connect services, making travelling with EMR more convenient whatever the destination.”
