Subj: Railway Improvement Works – Access for All Scheme at Motspur Park Station

Date: 5 December 2023

Dear Stakeholders,

Further to my last update in September, I would like to update you on the next phase of our work on the Motspur Park Access for All Scheme. Thank you for your continued cooperation.

As part of the next stage of works, we’ll be excavating for the retaining wall and constructing the footbridge foundations as well as other preparation works.

Using specialist equipment designed to minimise the noise we create, some of our equipment and machinery may still cause noise disturbance on Sunday 10 December (daytime) and you’ll notice some increased traffic from delivery vehicles. As well as this, up until February, engineers will be working during the evening throughout Monday- Friday. We do appreciate how impactful this night time working will be during this period and every effort will be made to minimise any excessive noise while this work is carried out. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you.

Work will take place as follows alongside our standard day-time working hours:

Date Time Work to be carried out

Sunday 10/12/2023 to 00:00 – 03:00 Footbridge foundation construction, drainage

Monday 11/12/2023 (27 hours) installation, retaining wall excavation – noisy

Overnight and Daytime work.

Mid-weeknight working 23:00 – 05:00 Facilitating works (transporting materials to

(Mon-Fri) until island platforms, removal of waste) for safety

February 2024 reasons, needs to be done when trains are not

moving.

If you have any questions, please do let me know.

Kind regards

Jack Wharton
