The service is new for the TransPennine Express (TPE) on their Anglo-Scottish route and will be available for all customers travelling on the route between Glasgow/Edinburgh and Manchester Airport.
Game of Thrones, Coronation Street and Keeping up with the Kardashians are some of the shows available on the service.
Kristian Nairn said: “I was delighted to be able to launch Exstream for TransPennine Express today. After meeting some fantastic people in Glasgow, I managed to sit down on board with a cup of tea and watch the first two episodes of Game of Thrones. It brought back some great memories!
“Now I’m looking forward to my next journey where I can catch up on some shows and films I have missed recently.”
Leo Goodwin, Managing Director of TransPennine Express, said: “We really enjoyed having Kristian launch the new service today. It’s a fantastic milestone for TransPennine Express as we open up a whole world of entertainment for our customers.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
