Network Rail have announced plans for engineering work to be carried out on the railway as it passes through Dringhouses on 13 and 20 December, and 25 December to 27 December.

The work, which will take place during the day and night, is to survey and adjust the existing overhead line equipment, as part of the electrification of the line from York to Church Fenton.

Members of the community are invited to attend an online information session from 18:30 to 19:30 on Thursday 10 December. Members of the project team will be there to explain the work in more detail and answer any questions. To join the meeting on Thursday, please click HERE

The work will require the use hand tools and track access platforms. Steps will be taken to avoid noise, but this may still produce a level of noise disturbance for those who live close to the railway. Much of this work can only be carried out when the line is closed over the Christmas period, hence the timing.

Network Rail have produced a ‘Work Tracker’ newsletter, which explains more about the work being done along the line. It can be downloaded HERE
