Network Rail have written to residents living close to the Eastcoast mainline between York Station and Skelton juntion
on the outskirts of York warning them of disruption from Sunday, December 1 through to February 28 with on-track recovery work on Saturday nights from 9pm - 8.15am with daytime work from 8am-4pm. There will be some midweek night time working at Aldborough Way between Monday, December 2 and Friday, December 13 from 9pm-6am.
They say it's part of something called the York Capacity Project and will mean building a new line between York station and Skelton junction they want to install new foundations for the overhead electrified line structures for the new railway line.
A spokesman for Network Rail said: "We are sorry in advance for any disruption this may cause. However the work is essential, and the nature of our work often means some disturbance is unavoidable.
"The team is aware that they are working close to houses and they will try to minimise unnecessary disruption as much as possible."
