Leiston-cum-Sizewell

Green Rail Route

• Activity: Railway Works
• Start Date: 22nd July 2025
• End Date: 8th August 2025

Track renewals work on the Sizewell branch line are due to start:

These works will involve the removal and installation of new railway track including sleepers and ballast. These works will be carried out using various equipment including an engineering train and will cover an area of approximately 650m per day. Due to the nature of these works there will be associated noise and dust created. We will mitigate this as far as possible.

Please be advised that during these dates, there will be localised disruption as the engineering train passes through the area multiple times to distribute railway ballast.

Once the new track has been laid, a further engineering train known as the tamper train will carry out further works to embed the new track. Further information on tamping trains can be seen on Network Rail fleet webpage: www.networkrail.co.uk/running-the-railway/looking-after-the-railway/our-fleet-machines-and-vehicles/track-treatment-fleet/#tamping

Please note that these dates are subject to minor variation, potentially by a day or so, depending on on-site productivity and any unforeseen circumstances that may arise.

To minimise any inconvenience, we recommend the following precautions during this period:

• Keep animals indoors where possible
• Keep windows and doors closed
• Avoid hanging washing outside

Sizewell C have planned these works to avoid disruption as much as possible, but we are aware that there may be some disruption and inconvenience for people. We are sorry that this may cause disturbance.
