Default Do you live above a tube tunnel?

...

If so, do you experience any noise and vibration?


As a child I regularly visited the cinema in Turnpike Lane, and the
Piccadilly trains were quite audible. Tunnel, track and train construction
have improved since then, though, but you can still hear Victoria Line
trains while standing on the (overground) platforms at Drayton Park.

A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.
That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes

As an aside , what happened to the tunnels that went north from drayton
park to finsbury park? I know the bits near finsbury were reused but what
about the rest of them? Are the tunnels still there or were they filled in?
