If you bought a house next to a main A road or motorway would you
complain if they did overnight road closures and resurfacing?
If you don't like it you shouldn't have moved next to a railway
line. What did you expect?

The difference with the road is that a closure for resurfacing works
would probably be quieter than normal.

Environmental Protection legislation does not give anyone carte blanche
to make as much noise as they like, however.
