What is the white dome on top of the gner class 82 dvt?

Question

on the roof at the front of the gner class 82 dvt (driving van trailer) there is a white dome shaped object could anyone tell me what it is there for as only gner dvts have it for example one anglia dvts dont have it

Answer 1

The white dome is the reciver for the wirless internet which most GNER trains have now.

The trains also have a mobile phone link and a satelite link so apparently you can have internet access even when the mobile phone network is poor.

Answer 2

I think its the air conditioning

Answer 3

might be used for GPS or CB radio int.

Answer 4

It's the radio aerial cover ! ! !

Answer 5

The white dome on top of the trains is for the Wi-Fi Internet which is available on board and is free in 1st class and payable at about 2.95 per hour in standard, provided that you are Wi-fi enabled on your laptop

Answer 6

The white dome, is definately to do with the Wi-Fi internet service which is available on some GNER trains. I've not actually used it myself though, as I travel on Virgin , not GNER.

Virgin do however have Wi-Fi internet access available at all our First Class lounges, including London Euston, Birmingham New Street and Manchester Piccadilly.

Answer 7

i actually have a feeling it has something to do with the wireless internet on the gner trains. Probably the signal reciever.
