I have just received a letter from Network Rail … I half expected it to be warning me about noisy work on the HST 2 route (you’ll know what I mean if you have been reading the local papers), but it is about the Aberdeen to Stonehaven line.

They are doing overnight work using small plant and machinery from Friday 25 May to Friday 8 June from 11:55pm to 9:15am each night.

Noise in unavoidable, but they do the work at that time to cause least disruption to services.
