Inconsiderate rail workers/idiotic schedule of work?

[Yournamehere]

I have the only in/out of Eastbourne 100ft from the back of my house, also a twitten (path) next to it leading to a gate in the fence. We get all sorts of work on the line, pleased to say. We usually get a letter warning of overnight work but never disturbed us so far in 3yrs. If I am up at 3am on way back from loo can look out and see 5 transits parked on the twitten and all orange suits up and down. Having said all the end of July there changing rails so that should be interesting.

Man the changing rails machine is the best!

Like you I can see the railway from my window and when that machine comes along it's like a 30 yard slug from hell, all blazing lights and jets of steam, and crawling through the night at about a yard a second. Che-bung clang clang, ch-bung clang bang. Che-bung clang clang, ch-bung clang bang.

Wooh wooh! Che-bung clang clang, ch-bung clang bang. Che-bung clang clang, ch-bung clang bang. All through the night. Worth staying up for.

Is that the big thing that cuts and welds the tracks underneath it? Impressive if so...
