Kingsland train station speaker system
Hello to those who live in the vicinity of Kingsland train station, just wondering if anyone else is bothered by the increase in the volume of the speaker announcements?
Thursday week ago they carried out some speaker volume checks and ever since the announcements are around two times the volume. We can hear all of them from inside the house on Walters Rd. This happened last year following the world cup when they didn't turn the volume down but I cannot see any reason for the increase this time. I work from home so hear this constantly 24/7. If anyone else is bothered by it please send in or call in a complaint to AT transport or send a message to our local MP.
