Paul,
That is not why the signal doesn't get through the glass, the signal is
stopped by a composite that makes the glass stronger in the event of a
crash.
That is why the signals have issues. Having said this, with my N82 on O2
and previously with the same phone on Vodafone, I have had no issues on
any Virgin train... I'm sure that this comes down to the dropping factor
again.

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! -
Andy
