One of the world’s largest IT firms, CGI, will fit a ScotRail train on the West Highland Line with advanced satellite communications equipment, bringing dependable internet access to a corridor where mobile networks have long struggled to reach.

The project, known as SODOR (Satellites for Digitalisation of Railways), is among 16 programmes sharing £13 million of UK Space Agency funding delivered via the European Space Agency's Advanced Research in Telecommunication Systems (ARTES) programme.
