Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Sue Doughty (Liberal Democrat), on Tuesday, 23 November 2004, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 17 members in total.


TRAIN HORNS

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.
