Network Rail are responsible for railway engineering works. These are designed to maintain and improve the infrastructure, and this can include the track itself, the signals, or the points at junctions. Staff will also routinely attend to trees and vegetation by the track, station platforms, electrical supplies and many other parts of the railway.

Most engineering works take place overnight or at weekends, keeping disruption to a minimum. In this case, because the works are required to be completed urgently, additional engineering works have been scheduled on short notice.
