Sneak is all for productivity enhancing technologies. After all, where would we be without email, IM, web search and so on? But Sneak is also a fan of being able to enjoy a quiet nap on the train before he is awoken by twenty Tennents-swigging Glaswegian footie fans. And now this; Vodafone has just announced it will improving the coverage it offers inside Virgin trains. Apparently new so-called "repeater" technology, which retransmits 2G and 3G within carriages, will be installed on all of the firm's Pendolino trains. Right, where's the quiet coach?
