They say they want to cut back tree branches close to the track with work planned from 11.30pm on Saturday (February 8) and 7.40am the next day and the same time on Saturday, February 22.
A spokesman for Network Rail said: "We are sorry in advance for any disruption this may cause. However the work is essential, and the team need to undertake the work at night as it is the safest time to access the railway, due to the low numbers of trains that run overnight.
"The nature of our work often means some disturbance is unavoidable. The team is aware that they are working close to houses and they will try to minimise unnecessary disruption as much as possible."
The company say they will be using chainsaws, brush and hedge cutters.
