Default Do you live above a tube tunnel?

Some residents who live above the proposed line of the Crossrail tunnels
are concerned about possible noise and vibration in their homes when the
trains are running. Is there anyone on utl who lives or works directly
above an existing tube (not sub-surface) tunnel? If so, do you experience
any noise and vibration?


Some long time ago, the Glass Manufacturers Federation had their offices in
Portland Place.

When in the basement, you could just about hear the Bakerloo line trains
passing below.


You can certainly hear a few feet down to the Hammersmith and City
from the toilets in the Euston Flyer! I seem to recall a friend saying
something similar about somewhere in the centre of town above the
Central Line though...
