The service is free to watch. Don't forget to take a pair of earphones/headphones as they don't have speakers. If you forget to take a pair with you you can purchase a pair from the buffet car onboard for £1.50.

That list looks quite good doesn't it...
In practice you get a fraction of that. When doing a West of England rover recently there were less than 10 different programmes on offer and none of them were worth watching. The programmes are in categories and several of them were completely empty. The comedy section had one episode of Miranda and that was it.

One episode of Miranda? Clearly that was a mistake.

Miranda isn't in the slightest bit funny...

Was in Coach D a few weeks ago and there wasn't one show available on the system - was completely empty!

Ah, presumably they were getting good programmes from ITV.

The best thing on Volo is the map that shows where the train is - a very useful little thing, but it kept turning itself off - most annoying.

I'm not a fan either, hence the 'nothing worth watching'
Still not as bad as that Katy Brand fat asss thingy. The first time I channel hopped to it (pre digital) it took me a good 10 mins to realise that it was meant to be a comedy show.

It resets after each station stop I believe, presumably as you might have got off and someone new will be given the welcome/menu screen.

I guess when you paid for something, it didn't do this until the programme/film finished. Not sure about the map.

What it needs is a 'logout warning' that gives you the chance to override the reset if you tap within nn seconds.

The map times out after a couple of minutes - you can tap "Zoom" occasionally to avoid this.

Programmes play though to the end, there's no reset when stopping. When it was paid you got 10 minutes free which was reset after station stops.

The selection does seem to go a very long time between updates. I did enjoy Vexed though, which I hadn't heard of till it appeared on Volo.
