If you live anywhere near the railway line in Brigg you will have perhaps become slowly accustomed to the heavy freight trains rumbling past, particuarly in the dead of night.
They started coming our way in numbers last month while the Lincoln line was out of action for re-signalling work.
However, things are set to get a whole lot noisier in Brigg from next weekend, and for several weeks, when a stretch of railway line in Scunthorpe is taken out of action for repairs, resulting in some of that line's freight trains being re-routed through our town.
Network Rail has spent millions this year doing up the Brigg line, and already it's repaying some of that investment.
So the top brass running that concern can sleep easily in their beds...unlike some of the Brigg folk awakened, from time to time, by the passing trains.
