    I live about 4 metres from the Luas Green Line in town and according to a very brief flyer I got in the post there is going to be works on this weekend for basically the whole weekend.

    Does anyone know what "rail replacement" consists of (other than the obvious). In the past I know they've used welders and grinders meaning that even late at night it is extremely bright and loud. Just wondering should I be expecting that again.

    Closing off the road, or a lane. Saw cutting and breaking out the concrete or asphalt around the rails down to the level of the base slab or sleepers, cutting and detaching the rail, laying and re-welding in the new sections and reinstating the concrete or asphalt. It'll be noisy. Buy some ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. Or complain.

    Haha, thanks for this. Basically the worst-case scenario in terms of disruption so.

    I'll never complain about scheduled works. **** has to be done I get that - but I'd probably recommend never living in an apartment this close to the tracks. Works happen often. It sucks.
