Train horns ARE there for a reasen. The older trains you could not get much sound from them, i used to drive 47s, and those horns where not always heard, especiely when there is other noice coming from around the area, such as from an aircraft. The Voyager horns have both High and Low, but also soft...

But i will say i do not ride them every day- i use the the 377s every day to get to and from work, a...

Probably because the oh so lovely Voyagers are generally full anyway - stopping at Clapham on a Brighton service could cause some kind of chaos! We are usualy never even half full when leaving Brighton, although a fair amount still use us. The morning train from the west midlands to Brighton (09:33...

There should be an extra stop at Clapham Junction to allow easier connections to Reading! I do not understand why we do not stop there. It would bring us more custom, as well as providing better links to places. It would not halm the timetable to much if we open the doors, as we are booked to wait ...

After looking into this (its amazing what you can do when you work on the railway, even for anouther company), i can conferm that the booked platform for the Ashfords at Brighton will be platform 7. Our VXC will use the top end of 3, although this is subject to change, but is the initial idea so far...
