How our work may affect you
Our work is often noisy and late at night. As well as our enhancement projects, we maintain the railway 24/7 and sometimes make repairs at short notice for safety reasons. While we do our best to keep noise and disruption to a minimum, we do sometimes get this wrong, and we are working on updating our code of conduct that describes how we expect employees and contractor to treat customers and communities with politeness and respect.
We try to be considerate by giving you as much notice as possible about our general maintenance or engineering works, but if we fall short,please let us know. We'll always listen to concerns and will fully investigate complaints or reports.
