This is Project Reach which Network Rail has been working on for years (it published its original call for competition in April 2021) but here we have, again, the transport secretary jumping in at the last minute to claim the credit.

At Avanti West Coast, our window etching trial boosted mobile data throughput by up to 300% — using existing mobile networks.
That benefit still applies with Project Reach. A modest investment in train improvements could have huge national impact.

🚆⏱️The value of the time lost on #trains in the UK due to poor #Wi-Fi connectivity equates to £376m of value a year 🤯
By making that travel time more productive through enhanced #connectivity, the UK economy could receive a much-needed boost.

Have you picked up the recent edition of Rail Engineer?
Blu Wireless, alongside our partner @westermo are included in this excellent piece about the technological challenges involved in Wi-Fi on trains.

Between now and 2030 (which in rail terms is not a very long time!), we’re expecting to see a three-and-a-half times increase in both mobile data volumes and the bandwidth needed to the train to keep pace with passenger demand.
This means that train operators modeling for 2030 will require 3 gigabits per second and above. And, in fact, if you’re designing an onboard Wi-Fi system today, bearing in mind you’ll probably have to live with it for the next decade, it would be prudent to be designing for a 10 gigabit per second service.
