Brits crazy for wireless on trains

If you had any doubt that the British still take train travel seriously, two new mobile services targeting rail-based commuters should settle the issue. Travelers using the UK's National Rail can now get schedule info by text.
Just send a message to a specific number, and you can get departure, arrival or complete itinerary information.
Meanwhile, if you're waiting for a train in the London Underground, you can now relieve your boredom by getting short films delivered to your Bluetooth phone. The project was developed by Viacom's outdoor advertising division, which means it won't be long before the flicks are interrupted by or supplanted with commercials — which might still be preferable to staring at the blank walls of the tube station at midnight.
