Trying to watch content on a plane or train can be difficult with slow connectivity speeds, so the Virgin Trains 'BEAM' app is designed to help offer unlimited usage to passengers.
The Virgin Trains 'BEAM' app is set to offer over 200 hours of films and TV to passengers whilst they are onboard a Virgin Trains train. The app works quite simply and only requires passengers to download it and start playing. The exclusive app service is only available for passengers while they are onboard the train, but offers ample content for people of all ages with different genre preferences.
Those looking to watch content on their next train ride can take advantage of the Virgin Trains 'BEAM' app either right now or by September 2016, depending on the train route.
