Hi All,
I was in London on Friday (28/10/2017), and decided to go and check out a section of the Jubilee Line between Baker Street and St Johns Wood. And I must say that the amount of noise produced on the run through this section is absolutely ear splitting. (I overheard a number of passengers discussing the terrible racket once it died away).
Was wondering if there is a known cause of this, as it has been going on for some months. It is notable in the Northbound Direction (and the speed seemed somewhat constrained too), but it is crippling on the Southbound - and it ensues for much longer right into the platform. I must add, in the Northbound direction, the noise can be heard from the platform for well over a mile as the train exits the station towards St Johns Wood.
Made a number of journeys on different trains as I became increasingly perplexed by this, and all of the trains seemed to do it. After all, there are no significant bends or curves to cause it either.
I was just after hearing other people's views on this one - in terms of knowledge in the engineering field here?
Many Thanks
- my apologies for an extensive read!
