Packing or compressing the ballast (gravel) on the track to make sure the track doesn't move in the future. The nature of the work is noisy.
Can you explain what this means and what disruption this will create for local residents?https://twitter.com/NetworkRailGOBE/status/856824956222676993 …

As a former resident of Gospel Oak, we often received letters warning of planned noisy construction work.

Great - we had noisy work three weeks ago round here and few did leading to lots of angry messages in my inbox...

@NetworkRailGOBE@stellacreasy they are noisy squeaky machines that vibrate ballast under the sleepershttps://youtu.be/V7u2TsiorBIThanks. Twitter will use this info to make your timeline better. Undo -
We've had letters about it - going to be noisy at night but the machine moves at an amazing(!) 200m an hour so it won't be noisy long.

Big noisy machine pushing down ballast (stones) under rails. Probably moves along fairly slowly.
