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?

My sister used to live above the Picadilly Line near Manor House and you
could hear rumblings from the trains passing underneath

I lived in a flat for a while which was directly above the Glasgow
Underground's Circle line, between Hillhead and Kelvinbridge. Every 30-60
seconds the floor/walls vibrated when a train was passing underneath. I got
used to it after a while and actually miss it now I'm back living in London.
I now live near Clapham Junction and hear overground trains go by every
30-60 seconds.....but it's not the same as living directly above a tube
line.
