Train Horns

EDM number 67 in 2004-05, proposed by Sue Doughty on 23/11/2004.

That this House is concerned by the rising number of complaints about the noise levels produced by train horns; recognises that these noise levels can cause real damage to local people's quality of life; takes note of the Rail Safety and Standards Board's decision to reduce the decibel level of train horns and to relax some of the rules regarding their use; recognises the paramount importance of safety on trains; but believes that the RSSB should at least reconsider their current rejection of alternative technologies for train horns which could do a great deal to improve the daily lives of a great many local residents.

This motion has been signed by a total of 17 MPs.
