Trees & Vegetation Management
If you or your tree surgeon propose to cut tree(s) on third party lands which may be of risk to the railway or the safe passage of trains during these works, please contact the Third Party Works team to submit a TPW request. Contact Third Party Works
Please do not start any works until permission to proceed has been granted by our TPW team in order to assess the risk and facilitate measures to protect the railway where necessary.
The TPW team do not manage trees or vegetation within the railway corridor and therefore cannot provide advice in that regard. Please Contact Us for other relevant Translink queries.
