By your own logic, if there are no landscape features, and if there is signal within the carriage mostly, then the most likely explanation is simply that the masts are being overloaded by too many people in one place wanting to access a particular mast. And because the overload is literally transient, there is no justification for adding further mast capacity. The masts have a fixed capacity - and there are also a fixed number of channels, can be as little as a few score per mast. | |

I experienced this signal loss in Flanders, Belgium where there are hardly any landscape features blocking signal, and signal coverage is above 90%. So i conclude that it must be the traincarriage itself blocking the signal. | |
