Dear Neighbour
IMPROVEMENT WORKS - Swanley to Farningham Road (Ref No: WDU/MPC/AA/VIR)
I am writing to inform you that Network Rail needs to undertake essential works near your property.
Works will be undertaken from approximately 00.40hrs Sunday 16th May 2021 to 04.10hrs Monday 17th May 2021
This work will involve removing and installing new rails using cutting and welding equipment, on track machinery, lighting, generators, various types of small plant and an engineering train, which regrettably are noisy pieces of equipment. There will also be an engineering train called a Tamper which compacts the ballast to improve the alignment of the track. The train will move slowly down the line away from properties.
Under our licence conditions we are contractually obliged to work at times that cause the least disruption to train services. This means our work will often happen during the night and at weekends.
The equipment we use means some disturbance is unavoidable, but we will make every effort to minimise any unnecessary noise.
I hope this information is helpful and we apologise for any inconvenience these essential works may cause. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please visit www.networkrail.co.uk or telephone our 24-Hour National Helpline on 03457 11 41 41.
Yours sincerely
