Well, my house is actually built 60 years ago and I have no idea, how 

don't actually apply (actually, theres much newer houses between mine 
and the track). I think the basic problem comes from increasing weights 
of the trains - 60 years ago there probably wasn't such massive 
movements on that track as today (note that they still are rare).

Actually, I do :). Those trains don't bother me anymore, even though the 
first time really was a freaking one. There so much more positive than 
negative things living here that I'm pretty satisfied.

       Yeah, you would have felt it more than me, I think. It felt like a 
gentle rumble for about 5 seconds.

I did not feel anything here in London but one of my local shopkeepers said that
he did. 

I did feel an earthquake once when I worked offshore. That was scary.

There was indeed. A friend from UK messaged me saying basically "I just 
had an earthquake. Yellow pages website isn't loading for me. Can I 
borrow your internet for a minute?" only in a bit more panic.

Heh, I was wondering how things were over there. "An earthquake near 
London" was not something I expected to hear. Glad you're OK, though.
