Greater Anglia has received a safe Wi-Fi certification from the government-initiated safety scheme Friendly WiFi.
The accreditation, which covers the Wi-Fi networks on all of Greater Anglia’s train services and its 134 managed stations, means that all sites showing pornography and child sexual abuse images are blocked, using the internationally recognised Project Arachnid URL block list.
Terrorism-related search results are also removed.
Michael Robertson, Greater Anglia’s finance and IT director, said: “We are very proud to achieve the Friendly WiFi certification, showing that the Wi-Fi networks across all of our trains and 134 managed stations are safe.
“It means our customers can browse and enjoy the internet safely and with peace of mind while on their journeys with us.”
Bev Smith, director of Friendly WiFi added: “We are thrilled to welcome Greater Anglia and Stansted Express to our family of certified operators. Their proactive approach to online safety sets a strong example for others in the industry.
“By certifying both their trains and stations, they show a comprehensive commitment to protecting their passengers.”
