The Clymo Brief: in-train entertainment
- Volo TV brings airline-style seatback entertainment to the train. Rob Clymo takes a closer look. -
I never thought I'd say it but I actually think trains are getting better. A few years ago they offered a horrible customer experience. They were outdated, dirty, packed to capacity and invariably late. The trains I travel on now tend to be newer and cleaner. Granted, they're often still packed, but even the punctuality has improved.
My cautious optimism isn't shared, mind you. Whenever I ask other people how they get on with travelling on trains, the response veers toward the negative.
