Any idea why, over the last few days, the trains have been blowing their
horns a lot more? I've lived near Surbiton Station for a few years, but
have no idea why I've noticed this. At times it sounds like there's a
train sat at the station just blowing its horn!

Is it a general rule to blow your horn at every station or just Surbiton?


Hasn't there been a lot of weekend track maintenance work in the area
recently? If the driver sights workers in the distance he has to give them
a warning...

They have been doing weekend work, yes. I just presumed they'd do all the
work on the weekend, then come back the next weekend. Could be that there is
a team doing stuff down the track a little bit. It's quiter now, so they'll
have clocked off. It does start early in the morning too.

Thanks
