London’s Overground will soon have free Wi-Fi access at all stations. The Wi-Fi is set to be installed this summer as London Overground signed a contract with providers The Cloud. Passengers on the service will be able to check their email and surf the web for free for 60 minutes a day.

Steve Murphy, Managing Director of London Overground Rail Operations, said: "Access to the internet is no longer limited solely to home or to the workplace, and people’s expectation is to be able to work and communicate effectively and seamlessly while they’re on the move so we’re delighted to support this initiative which will bring reliable, free WiFi to London Overground’s customers.”

The move follows a similar deal earlier this month, with Virgin Media signing a contract London Underground to provide Wi-Fi at their stations. The underground service will be free initially, but will become a pay-as-you-go service. The Overground service, however, will remain free.
