Actually had reasonable results on O2 - but GPRS only, however on the last 
train journey I made (London to Totnes) I observed that the mobile base 
stations follow the road and not the railway line.

Ironic when they're discouraging mobile use when driving...

Anyone go to the county show? I was there on Friday. Almost impossible to 
get an O2 GPRS data connection, and when I did, it was slower than a 300 
bored modem )-:
