I wanted to post here to find out if anyone else feels strongly about the high levels of noise that the trains make at the southern end of the Thameslink platforms at St Pancras. Every time a northbound 319 comes out of the tunnel, the screeching sound it makes actually hurts my ears. On quite a few mornings, I've seen some passengers hold their hands over their ears.
I have no engineering background so I don't know what causes the sound or whether there is any way to rectify the situation. I gather it's made worse by the fact that the station is underground so the sound echoes off the walls. What entity would be the right one to approach for this? OSHA? Network Rail?
