It's interesting you say you've had luck with Adelantes. I've never 
managed to get a signal in one with my bluetooth GPS - I've found them 
just as bad as voyagers.

I have had luck with the thames trains turbos, HSTs, and whatever it is 
that does Waterloo-Bournemouth (Wessex Electrics?)


I've been pondering getting an external aerial for my GPS, to see if 
that'd help on voyagers/adelantes. Has anyone tried this and had any luck?
