Hi there


I'm looking at moving to Nunhead, alongside the train station, but I wanted to know how people who live nearby feel about the noise. Seems like passenger trains aren't too much bother (even the announcements) but what about freight trains? This list worries me: http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/advanced/NHD/2014/03/20/0321?stp=WVS&show=all&order=wtt


A whole list of freight trains every hour ...


Any advice gratefully-received!


Thanks

I lived directly next to railway tracks for 5 years


I definitely noticed the noise initially, and with kids on the way, was worried about that aspect as well


But the noise melted into the background for me, and the kids never noticed


On some summer's days, in the garden, a passing train could be a pain


But overall I was fine with it and it had no hand in my decision to move


But as the plane thread shows, your mileage may vary

    • Ah that was it.... When you realise politicians are only ever in it for themselves then everything starts to make sense.  
    • Yup. Student politics. https://bright-green.org/2012/04/09/democracy-and-direct-action-an-interview-with-edinburgh-universitys-new-student-president-james-mcash/
    • I wonder whether his political epiphany and renaissance will stretch to him using his real name - James Ashworth-McLintock - rather than the more proletarian 'McAsh'. To my mind, the only people who should have self-bestowed mononyms are very talented Brazilian footballers - Pele, Kaka, Ronaldinho - very talented female pop icons - Madonna, Shakira, Sonia - or Russian revolutionaries - Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky. Sonia's greatest hits compilation, 'Greatest Hits', is out now on vinyl & CD through PWL Recordings.
    • Probably more helpful to ask simply whether McCash was affiliated with the Greens before becoming a Labour councillor. Trying to explain your thought process and unravel your fevered imagination (particularly when it comes to local politica) is the kind of thing that might require several years of psychoanalysis.
