There seems to me to be a lot of misplaced trust involved in connecting to Wifi networks. It's easy to set up your own public AP and why not call it "Netork Rail Free Wifi" or something?

On the uk tfl ones it’s phone carrier configured and authenticated. You don’t select it like a normal wifi point
Yes but mainline stations it's captive portal open wifi. I think it literally is called network rail free wifi or something.
