Much noisier than usual south of Paddington

[Chris M]

For the first time in about a month, I travelled on the Southbound Bakerloo through Paddington this afternoon. Paddington to Edgware Road is never the quietest stretch of LU but the squealing today was much louder (and I think more prolonged) than usual. Any knowledge of what the cause is?

Given that much of the District line has been done by the rail grinding train recently, and LU have hired that rail grinder in........

In fact wasn't there mention on the forum recently that its been on the Jubilee as well?

Maybe its been over on the Bakerloo line too?!

It was in the Standard last week with residents at street level complaining of louder noises from both the Bakerloo and Jubilee for the past two years. www.standard.co.uk/news/london/marylebone-residents-in-battle-with-tfl-over-tube-noise-as-loud-as-a-jet-a3205326.html

Rail grinding is indeed cited as a possible cause although I understood that was relatively recently rather than two years?
