Fine - forget I even mentioned it. I just asked for advice on this,
maybe there was somewhere within LU I could ask about e.g. how often
they do track works etc. but seems that all I'm doing is getting flamed
for asking.

You have to bear in mind that a lot of the people who post on rail
related site are f**king ignorant ****s. LUL certainly does have noise
abatement orders put on them, I should know, the last project that I
worked on had enough delay claims due to such orders.
Then of course there is noise and noise. They could go out and say what
the hell, I am going to make as much noise as I can and I don't give a
dam or we can actually find a quiter way of doing the job.
It wouldn't take much to make residents aware before hand that there is
likely to be a lot of noise then people could have the option of
perhaps sleeping in a back bedroom.
You have to bear in mind that generally speaking the railways don't
give a dam about anybody but themselves.
