铁路的日常运行产生了一定的噪音和振动 - 找出预期，如果它影响你，该怎么办？
On this page, you can read about noise and vibration from the regular running of the railway. Our work to improve and maintain the railway can also generate noise.

Vibration
我们经常审查曲目的状态开展维护工作to improve them where necessary, so it’s unlikely that the condition of the tracks would cause vibrations that damage nearby buildings.
如果您担心从您的财产附近运行的火车的振动导致结构损坏，我们建议您从独立测量师获得报告。我们将调查报告是否同意火车振动导致损坏，但我们确实需要看到一个独立的报告，因此请在与我们联系之前获取验证员。
Noise
Noise levels vary depending on the circumstances – for example, open countryside allows noise to travel further than hills, frost makes the ground hard so it can’t absorb noise, and fog prevents noise from dispersing into the sky.
如果你与我们取得联系因为你关注噪音水平，我们会让你知道导致它是什么，让你了解它可能持续多久。如果我们需要采取行动来减少它，请放心我们会做。
Trains
Excessive noise may be caused by a problem with a specific train or track.我们拥有并管理铁路网络，但我们不跑火车, so while we’ll do everything we can to give you advice and help investigate train movements, we usually have to work with the火车公司and local authority, which means we can’t take any specific action to resolve the problem.
级过境点
Most of the noise that comes from a水平过境是由穿过它的车辆引起的。噪声也由安装的一些安全警报设备产生。虽然我们有时可以通过使交叉流畅的光滑来减少噪音，但它很少能完全消除。
跟踪警报
跟踪警报对于保持乘客和我们的劳动力安全至关重要，他们只应该在短时间内发出声音。Please get in touchif you’re concerned about the noise being made by railway alarms.
火车角
We need to provide safety warnings to people who are on or near the tracks – they’re a vital safety feature of trains that run on our network. However if you’re affected by train horns, please请与我们联系.
Whistle boards
口哨板用于行人路线，行人无法看到接近火车。当火车通过板时，驾驶员必须听起来，以便行人知道火车即将到来。除了在紧急情况下，司机被指示不要在午夜和凌晨6点之间使用哨子板的角。
Although we’re trying to reduce the number of whistle boards, we can’t remove them where they help to keep pedestrians safe.

铁路法案1993年
议会始终认识到铁路运营可以产生一种不可避免的噪音和干扰。为此原因section 122 of the Railways Act 1993provides Network Rail and train operators with a statutory defence to proceedings for nuisance. Ordinarily this would cover claims alleging excessive noise or vibration.
However, this defence is not unqualified. if the complaint refers to noise from railway premises, the operator must demonstrate that they have used ‘reasonable diligence' to control the noise or vibration if they are to claim the statutory immunity defence. This applies, for example to allegations of nuisance from a platform loudspeaker or from a lift or plant room causing vibration or noise.
