Despite us being told it is ARTC's problem the reality is that it is DPTI's problem at the moment and they are refusing to acknowledge this.Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16458824810686127102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4758309684121714688.post-25476816544453901012013-10-13T20:51:21.338+10:302013-10-13T20:51:21.338+10:30Why don't ARTC fit some microphones in the Goo...Why don't ARTC fit some microphones in the Goodwood area to monitor train noise so that there is a factual basis to noise complaints?Walternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4758309684121714688.post-9613795724620576392013-10-12T21:05:25.857+10:302013-10-12T21:05:25.857+10:30I just read your article about the above and would...I just read your article about the above and would like to relay my experiences with both DPTI & ARTC in relation to this matter.<br /> <br />We live near the rail line and have done for 35 or so years (my husband for nearly 60 yrs) and have never heard the trains screeching like they are now, neighbours have the same thoughts, so I rang DPTI, who said that it was ARTC’s responsibility, so I called the number & left a message, they in turn phoned me back and said they needed to know the time of day, date and what sort of train it was, I said this was impossible as I do not live that close to the train line, but the person that called me said that it was the train drivers fault, which surprised me, but they said to ring and leave a message when it happened again. Even though I have heard the screeching regularly I hadn’t bothered to phone back again until a few nights ago (possibly Monday), as my husband really noticed how bad it was and when they called me back the next day ARTC denied that there was any trains at that time or day.<br /> The screeching is very, very audible, sometimes it is nearly at a distressing level. As we have lived here for so long, we have not ever noticed the noise from the trains before – you just get used to it and it’s not noticeable, but this new screeching is totally different.<br /> <br />I remember either reading or maybe being told at an Open Day that they were re-aligning the track to cut the noise down, it seems as if they got this one wrong as well as many other things.Sallynoreply@blogger.com
