Notice of overnight works Princes Risborough to Aylesbury line

What we are doing

In May, we will be carrying out overnight works on the Princes Risborough to Aylesbury Lane. The work will involve dropping ballast using a rail mounted machine and trailer to secure the stability of the railway.

To minimise disruption, we will be completing these works on three weekend nights while the Network Rail line is closed.

We have also installed noise hoarding alongside the Princes Risborough to Aylesbury Line at the back of the Hawkslade estate. This will help to reduce the operational noise to properties close to the railway line during the works.

To the south of the estate, earth bunds are already in use which form a barrier of protection from the site noise. We will also be using acoustic blankets and other equipment measures to mitigate the noise towards the Aylesbury direction.

When will these works be take place?
Overnight works between 01:00am – 07:30am on the following dates:

• Sunday 5 May
• Sunday 12 May
• Sunday 19 May

Every effort will be made to complete these works within three overnight closures. However, we have planned the below contingency date if the works haven’t been completed by 19 May. Contingency date:

• Sunday 26 May

These dates may change due to conditions outside of our control. Please refer to the HS2 website regularly to check for any changes and updates.
