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

      Fireworks

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Sadly, but not unreasonably, councils find it difficult to justify such expenditure on their current budgets. My family, which does like fireworks have been enjoying the displays by those still with disposable wealth by viewing them from Hilly Fields. Other hills (Dawson Heights) are available. For children who have autumn and winter birthdays, a firework display is some consolation for their birthday climate. My grandchildren, being summer babies, can enjoy garden parties and picnics. Without the need for explosions and dazzling display.

      Hey - I’ve got a spare adult ticket if you want it?

      Fireworks

      Not sure what you mean by "involved with firework enjoyment"? I'm all for others enjoying themselves, and I like fireworks, but if they were limited to public displays then people could still enjoy them? Having said that, I see that tickets for the London New Year fireworks start at £20 (Dawson's Heights it is,  then!) The fireworks in Brockwell Park used to be free. I don't know why those don't happen any more?
