  • Okay. Blame basement developments and homeowners suddenly becoming vocal about ground borne vibrations.

    In the past 20years; not the 1900s.

    People dig down to build a cinema room, don’t enjoy the ground borne vibrations from the Tube.

    Complain and instruct expensive lawyers.

    TfL/LU come up with a solution to reduce these vibrations. Except energy cannot be created nor destroyed so shall still manifest… in the form of carriage noise.

    There’s a lot more to it than that, but that’s the crux.

  • I guess you are saying the rails are more isolated from the tunnel that they used to be?

    How on earth do train drivers deal with the noise - do they wear ear defenders? It must cause permanent hearing loss and/or psychological impact.
