Yes, some of the carriages do.
E.g. There are quiet zone or business zone carriages. They are labelled as
such as my Wife likes to sit in the quiet ones!

The virgin trains have something in the glass windows that reduces the phone
signal.

Don't want to start a best coverage debate, but I have found that T-Mobile
have better coverage than Orange. What I'd like to know however, is why so
many other people seem to have coverage on Cross Country and Virgin trains,
when for me with T-Mobile [and it was as bad with Orange] I get hardly any!
Is it anything to do with hand sets? Are non-Nokia phones more powerful when
it comes to picking up connection? I'm guessing not, but can't figure out
why I get such poor coverage while others phones are ringing out all the
time! -
