If you're a highly recognisable global statesman, whose successor's pathetic performance is making the country remember why they fell in love with you in the first place, it can be tempting to think that you're above the laws of the land. That's the only explanation we can find for the damning news that Tony Blair was apprehended by a ticket inspector as he travelled on the Heathrow Express on Wednesday. Upon asked for a......

We always welcome more WiFi in the capital... if only it could all be free too. The latest spot to get hot is a moving target - the Heathrow Express: T-Mobile will be providing on-board wireless broadband access on Heathrow Express trains, the operator announced on Tuesday... As of early 2007, users will be able to buy access passes on board the train and continue to use them at T-Mobile's hot spots at Heathrow......
