NETWORK Rail has apologised in advance to residents living near railway lines ahead of overnight works in the coming weeks.
People living near the railway lines in Bolton-upon-Dearne have been contacted about the proposed works.
Network Rail have written to notify residents of scheduled vegetation removal on the nights of Saturday January 18 and Saturday February 1.
In the letter, sent by the community relations department, apologies over inconvenience are made.
It reads: “I understand that working near your property overnight is far from ideal and I am sorry in advance for any disruption this may cause.
“However, the work is essential, and the team need to undertake the work at night as it is the safest time for the team to access the railway due to the low numbers of trains that run at this time.
“The nature of our work often means some disturbance is unavoidable with the team using various tools and on track machinery like chainsaws and chippers.
“The team are aware that they are working close to your home and they will try to minimise unnecessary disruption as much as possible.”
