The klaxon noise on the platform is deafening!!!!!. It amazes me they are allowed to potentially deafen people. I suspect the barrier running drivers have their windows shut, radios blarring, motors roaring, drugs inserted and can't hear a thing. Meanwhile the normal people are deafened and kept awake all night!!!!!!!!. I'ts all not very well thought out!

In peak hour the horns are relentless. I am glad I am not a shift worker that has to sleep in until 9.00am and lived within 3 blocks from a train station....I would surely be sleep deprived.
