Residents Uproar Over Primrose Hill Railway Renovations

On March 23rd, residents near the Pirmrose Hill Railway are upset about upcoming engineering

work set to disrupt their sleep.

Network rail plans to renew tracks most weekends from early April through late July, starting

in the early morning hours to avoid affecting train, services, the work involves handheld

tools that create loud noises like sawing metal, and it's already woken some people around

2 a.m. last week, official send letters warning neighbors of the disturbance ahead of time.

Examples on streets like Adelaide Road, who've lived there for years, worry about constant

noise if their bedrooms face the tracks.

Parents with young kids feel anxious, especially with short notice, and no details on exact

locations or sounds.

Network rail says some noise from engines and tools is unavoidable, but they're scheduling

the loudest parts early in shifts and using quieter.

Equipment where possible?

The timeline spreads over weekends and holidays, like Easter, from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. to use track

closures wisely.

As teens brief workers to be considerate and keep residents updated, the focus stays

on making the railway safer and more reliable for everyone.
