Larry Lard ) gurgled happily, sounding much
like they were saying :

Last night LU took it upon themselves to work on the tracks just
outisde Harrow on the Hill tube station. They started sometime after
12am and finished after 3am - our flat faces the track, rendering
sleep impossible etc.

Does LU have any complaints procedure for such cases? Has anyone got
any experience in dealing with them in such cases? Isn't drilling/
sawing/ hammering at such times breaking the law i.e. noise
pollution at unsociable hours?

Which would you rather have?

1. Lines closed during the day for maintenance?
2. No maintenance at all, until the trains are banging and thumping
every time they pass - and let's hope it doesn't all go wrong?

Now, if you've been living in that flat since before the railway
lines went in, I can understand why you'd be disgruntled. If, on the
other hand, the lines were there before you...

So the railway has /carte blanche/ to be as loud as it wants, whenever
it wants, and do whatever it wants, because it was there first?

Yes.

You have a problem with that?

If so, please pick one of the two alternatives.
