Why Kingsland sounds like this

A referee blows full time, short, short, long, the Eden Park crowd erupts, and a fan whistles back through their fingers. Eden Park is a short walk from the platform, and on match nights the trains empty straight into the crowd heading for the gates. The chime is the final whistle as you'd hear it from the station, before you can see the ground.

Inside the chime

Kingsland's chime runs about 4 seconds, in two parts. Every station's chime ends on its family's signature, so you can tell roughly where you are by ear.

  1. 1

    Kingsland's own motif 3.1 s

    Full-time whistle and a fan's reply. No other station plays it.

  2. 2

    The West family's guitar 1.0 s

    Three plucked guitar notes climbing a major chord. It covers the western suburbs.
