Impact to Residents

Whilst every effort will be made to keep noise to a minimum, some noise may be heard from the machine as it passes by. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Reason for the works and potential benefits
Rail milling is a process that cuts material from the rail head to remove defects and restore the rail head profile, which is essential to ensure trams can continue to operate safely. Milling is a deeper intervention than rail grinding, removing up to 0.9 mm of material in a single pass over the rails as compared to rail grinding, which requires multiple passes at each site to remove 0.1 mm.
