France joins European push for satellite internet on trains
July 4 (Reuters) - France's state-owned rail company SNCF will launch a tender soon to add satellite internet to its trains, becoming the latest European rail operator to explore space-based systems for onboard connectivity. In a statement to Reuters, SNCF said on Friday it was pursuing an "innovative approach to strengthen connectivity and resilience" by combining terrestrial networks with low Earth-orbit satellite solutions. The company said the strategy aims to ensure service continuity across its entire network, including isolated sites, and guarantee better internet access for train passengers. "The satellite plus 4G/5G combination would eliminate dead zones and offer stable, fast service adapted to new uses such as streaming or video conferencing," SNCF said. Elon Musk's Starlink and France's Eutelsat ( opens new tab are among the companies being considered, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters. SNCF would not discuss with Reuters whether it was in talks with specific providers. A Eutelsat spokesperson confirmed the company's interest in the deal as it is already in talks with SNCF about setting up a pilot project as they have already done in Britain and Kazakhstan. "As one of only two LEO (low Earth orbit) operators currently in service, and the only French player, we intend to bid for the contract with our French partners such as Orange ( opens new tab business services," the spokesperson said. Starlink, which initially focused on consumer services, has expanded into enterprise markets, particularly in transportation and maritime sectors. Eutelsat, propped up by the French government in its push for LEO services, provides internet access through its OneWeb network of more than 600 LEO satellites. The move follows similar initiatives across Europe. Italy's state railway Ferrovie dello Stato ran a two-week trial in June with two providers, including Starlink, Infrastructure Minister Matteo Salvini said in May. Scotland's ScotRail also launched a six-week Starlink trial in May. Most European trains rely on cellular networks for internet access. However, connection quality varies with mobile network coverage, often dropping in rural areas or tunnels. The high speeds of trains also create technical challenges as systems must constantly switch between mobile towers, causing intermittent service. Satellites, on the other hand, offer consistent coverage everywhere, including remote areas where cellular towers are sparse or nonexistent.

Silverstone food and drink prices as pints get pricier at the British Grand Prix
A record crowd at Silverstone for the British Grand Prix will also have to pay record-high prices for beer with bars around the circuit raising their prices compared to 2024 The British Grand Prix is the centre of the sporting world every year and, this weekend, a record number of fans expected to descend upon Silverstone to see it for themselves. F1 chief executive Stefano Domenicali told Mirror Sport this week that 500,000 people are expected through the gates over the whole event. That would be an increase of 20,000 punters compared to last year. But those who are returning face some slight price increases with pints more expensive than they were at the 2024 event. Heineken is an official sponsor of the sport and so is made available for purchase at most F1 events. Last year, at one refreshment area on the outside of Copse Corner, a pint of the Dutch draught drink cost £7.70, but this year it has gone up to £7.85. Heineken is not the only fraught beer on offer, with another Dutch option Amstel also available at the slightly cheaper price of £7.50 for a pint. Inch's cider is also available at the same price, though that does represent a 10p rise compared to the 2024 event. For those buying in groups, there is an offer that makes it slightly cheaper. Four draught pints bought together will be sold at £28, reducing the price of each individual beverage to £7. And there is also a gluten-free lager (£7 for 330ml) and alcohol-free Heineken (£6 for 330ml) available. Like last year, the prices at Silverstone remain cheaper than those being charged in SW19 at the Wimbledon tennis championships. Pints of Stella Artois cost a hefty £8.85 at the All England Club this year, which is also a rise on their 2024 charges when they were being sold for £8.50. Ready-to-drink spirits and mixers are also available for purchase at Silverstone, including Jack Daniel's whisky and coke in a 330ml can and a selection of other combination in 250ml cans including Smirnoff vodka and coke, Gordon's gin and tonic and Pimm's with lemonade. They are all priced at £10 per can. Soft drinks like Coca-Cola and Fanta were sold at £3.90 per 500ml bottle at the 2024 British Grand Prix. This year, the prices have gone down to £3.50 but this is for a much smaller 330ml can. Cans of Red Bull cost £5, which is a 50p increase on last year. There remains an impressive range of street food options available to fans, though, including separate establishments dedicated to burgers, shawarma, Greek food, katsu curries and pizzas. There are also options for vegetarian and vegan fans including one van selling plant-based burgers for £12, which is on par with the beef, pork and chicken options on sale.
