If their concern is bandwidth then I think I can understand a free WiFi
provider blocking "Photo Sharing, Visual Search Engines". I would hope that
anyone batch uploading their days photos to Commons would be considerate of
such Free Wifi, but to be honest doubt I would be. As for the issue of

FGW might get WiFi by the end of the year. It probably took time to get

FYI, it's the same on First Hull Trains.
Interestingly, CrossCountry don't block Commons, and they're owned by the same

Yes, indeed.
Collaborating to get a well advertised clearing centre running would be a very
good first step. But to get over the usual issue that nobody in the community
