An open letter to TransLink:

I have noticed that the westbound train is running slower than usual and is therefore much quieter. I hope this change is permanent.

I would appreciate it if you could do the same for the eastbound trains. This track has a “bump” in it which makes the train noise quite loud.

I am contacting you because the reduced noise, even from the one track, has made such an unbelievable difference to my daily life. With my windows open, I can hear my television, music and conversations over the westbound train noise.
