With movies, TV, magazines, news and games all streamed direct to your device, Virgin Trains’ BEAM service turns train travel into a thrill ride…

IMAGINE you’re on a train journey. You’ve got a couple of hours to kill, confined to your seat… Now imagine that train journey with access to the biggest box-office movies, most talked-about TV shows, plus your favourite glossy magazines ( yes, Grazia’s on there), newspapers and boredom-busting games. Hmmm, but an added expense, you’re thinking. Well actually, no. It’s completely free ( yes, really). That train journey suddenly seems a whole lot more fun, no?

Always ahead of the pack and leading on innovation, Virgin Trains are the first to treat their customers to a five-star entertainment service streamed direct to their own devices – for free. For smartphones or tablets, simply download the BEAM app before you travel. Using a laptop? Once on-board, simply connect to Virgin Trains Wifi, then visit enjoybeam.co.uk and start streaming. It doesn’t matter whether you’re in first-class or standard, BEAM will keep you entertained, free of charge.

Customers on Virgin Trains’ Pendolino services will have access to hundreds of hours of the latest cult and classic movies and TV favourites, in addition to the daily news, fabulous magazines and great games that Voyager customers can enjoy. And BEAM is regularly updated, so even if you’re a frequent traveller, you’ll find something new. In fact, the only thing you need to worry about is getting carried away and missing your stop.
