Trains are quieter unless you live near a tunnel.
I use to live with a train line at the back of the garden. The most annoying and disturbing thing was the announcements on the platform. If you opened the windows you could hear them.
After resident complaints to different councils up and down the line the train company made them much quieter."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

We used to live pretty close to a line in Durham (very close to the viaduct to those who have been). The noise was quite nice I thought when you were drifting off to sleep, though the glassware rattling was a little annoying.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

No idea if there are many trains during the late night, they didn't wake me up It's crazy how good the train service is here considering the size of the place, especially compared to the lame air service.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

As for the lame air service at least you are 25 minutes nearer Newcastle than I am...merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

I sometimes find it's quicker to get the train to LHR than a flight.
I prefer Teeside to NCL. At least you don't have to queue.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Living in the US at the moment in a large town so we knew we would have had swarms of pre-teens and some teenagers on Monday evening so we went out early for dinner.
The neighbours really went to town some of them with smoke machines, sound effects and light shows. I liked the skeletons ...
There were hundreds of them around stuck to houses, lamp poles etc.Last edited by redgiant; 2 November 2016, 14:43.Comment
