    Three nights of flood prevention work will take place at Harrogate train station this week.

    In a letter sent to nearby residents, seen by the Stray Ferret, Network Rail said it will be carrying out the prevention works and repairs to the drainage system.

    It said the work requires road-rail machinery, which may “cause some some noise whilst in operation”.

    A Network Rail spokesperson said:

    "Our engineers will be working overnight between Monday and Thursday to investigate and carry out work to the drainage system underneath Harrogate station.
    "Teams will be working to restore a foul pipe connection between the platform and the sewage network under the railway line.
    "We know that working close to residents’ properties can be disruptive, especially overnight, but our teams will be as sensitive as they can while they carry out the work."


     The company also apologised in advance for the disruption but said the “work is essential”. It added:

    "The team need to undertake the work at night as it is the safest time to access the railway, due to the low numbers of trains that run overnight."


    Network Rail will be working overnight from Monday, January 15 at 10pm, to Thursday, January 18 at 8am.

    The company does not expect the works to disrupt regular train schedules.
