Train firm's entertainment plans
Rail operator First Great Western is to introduce a multimedia entertainment system in its train carriages.

Passengers will be able to watch live TV and films, surf the internet, send emails and play computer games from their seats in the new pilot scheme.

It will be tested on trains travelling between Cheltenham and the Cotswolds next summer, but could be extended across the region.

Rail travellers will be charged for the service, but the cost has not been set.
