Why? Daytime track work inconveniences thousands of people. Night time 
track work inconveniences only those who live in the immediate area.

You would have to be pretty stupid to not know that a railway was behind 
the back fence of a house that you just purchased.

I do not have any sympathy whatsoever for those who move to an area where 
there's an airport or a railway, then whinge that it's too close. Essendon 
Airport is much the same. It was built before most houses in the area, now 
the residents want it removed because it's dangerous. Someone should go out 
and tell these people "stiff shit, you moved here after the railway 
line/airport. You could have bought elsewhere".
