If so, why have Virgin Trains gone with Vodafone and not T-Mobile? Anyhoo, it's about time they did something about reception on trains in the UK. At the moment it's a joke attempting to connect on South West Trains - even above ground and through some of the most heavily populated places in Western Europe. <em>Anthony's last blog post..<a href='http://freshplastic.vox.com/library/post/ive-walked-a-1000-miles-in-a-year.html?_c=feed-atom' rel="nofollow">I've walked a 1000 miles in a year!</a></em> Doesn’t Branson still own (at least a bit if not anything else) both Virgin Trains and Virgin Mobile (Virgin Media)?

It would be better if Virgin was looking to put in something generic that benefited all users. I get frustrated that coverage is still such an issue & such a differentiator between the networks. There doesn't seem to be a will to work together to share infrastructure & costs to improve coverage for all users. We've seen some deals but only on a limited basis.
