Free Wi-Fi on all Arriva Trains Wales routes


Passengers across Wales can now benefit from free Wi-Fi on all Arriva Trains Wales (ATW) services thanks to Welsh Government funding. The £1.5m Welsh Government investment means the whole ATW fleet


including Pacer


trains, Class 153’s, and the carriages used on the north-south Express have now been retrofitted to provide free-to-use Wi-Fi for all passengers. Every train will carry the following sticker:


There will be information leaflets


available at


stations and Arriva will also run an awareness campaign for passengers. Speaking at a launch event to mark the completion of the on train Wi-Fi project, Economy and Transport Secretary said:


Ken Skates “This rollout


should be a real boon to commuters and business users alike. I expect it to make a real contribution to our ambitions for a growing economy with strong businesses in productive regions set out our Prosperity for All Economic Action Plan. “Importantly, our investment means that Pacer trains, Class 153’s, and the carriages used on our north-south Express all now have free-to-use Wi-Fi for all passengers. These trains amount to almost one- third of the fleet. Ian Price, Director at Confederation of British Industry (CBI) Wales said: “Over the last couple of years, we’ve seen a definite shift in attitudes around the importance of


connectivity for


businesses. “There has also been a significant


growth data


processing hosted large


in


remotely hosted computing applications, with


and ‘in


the cloud’. Both small and


enterprises


are increasingly utilising internet-based applications to manage their businesses. “This is even more so


where client concerned; relationships


supplier- are


where not


only access speeds are seen as critical, but the speed of responding to social


media content,


images and data are potential gauges of the efficiency of a business to respond to their customer needs.” Tom Joyner, Managing Director for Arriva Trains Wales said: “The fact all our customers will be able to use our free wi-fi on every single one of our trains is brilliant news and we are delighted to mark the completion of the project. We know how important connectivity is and being able to be productive during your journey, check your onward travel plans or simply catch up on social media will make a real difference to our customers. “

Tax-Free Childcare opens to parents in Wales with children under 12


Around 80,000 working families in Wales with children under 12 can apply for up to £2,000 of childcare support per child, per year. Parents, including the self-employed, can apply online for Tax-Free Childcare by visiting Childcare Choices at www.childcarechoices. gov.uk. Parents can also access the government’s childcare calculator through


Childcare Choices, which


helps parents to choose which government childcare support is best for them. The support is worth up to £4,000 for disabled children. More than 190,000 parents across the UK have successfully applied and now have a Tax-Free Childcare account they can use to pay for a wide range of regulated childcare, including nurseries, childminders, after school or holiday clubs. For every £8 parents pay into their childcare account the government


will add an extra £2. Once eligible parents have opened their new account they can start paying their childcare provider straightaway, using the government contribution. Liz Truss, Chief Secretary to the Treasury, said: “Tax-Free Childcare will cut thousands of pounds from childcare bills and is good news for working parents.


“More parents will be able to work if they want to and this demonstrates our commitment to helping families with the cost of living.


“All eligible parents with children under 12 can now apply through Childcare Choices and should take advantage of the available support.” Tax-Free


Childcare builds on


the support already available to thousands of families including: • enhanced childcare support through Universal Credit


• tax credits for childcare
