Tried again on the way back from Evesham last night, sitting in Coach  
A of an Adelante, using my yellow eTrex. I got decent four-satellite  
reception pretty quickly once we were clear of the station. As ever  
IMX with trains, for decent reception, you have to be fairly careful  
how you point the GPS.

We were sitting by the "breakable window" (the one in the centre of  
the carriage that they encourage the local rock-throwing cave-dwellers  
to aim for), and I do wonder whether this might make a difference.

cheers
