I have come across  a streaming webcam for South Yarra (Melbourne suburb?) station which I find fascinating at busy times.  It appears to be a mix of metropolitan and main line trains or trams. 

My question: Is the loud blast on the horn before starting mandatory.

The reason for my asking is that South Yarra station is in a virtual man-made ravine between high rise buildings, some of which appear to be residential. This perpetual blasting reverberating within the ravine must become very annoying for the building's occupants I would have thought.

Any comments Aussies ?

Hi Canary ....my daughter lives in Melbourne, I'll check with her, this may not be an isolated incident, happening only at South Yarra or there maybe a specific safety reason for this particular warning - I agree it must be very annoying for any one living close by.

I'll have to get back to you on that one 🤗😀
