Thank you for your request received by us on 16 June 2020 asking for information about who to contact with regards to a tree at Wood Street station. I apologise for the delay in replying
.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm that we hold the information you require.
London Overground manage Wood Street station. They have advised that you can visit the station and speak to the local station manager to explain the nature of the obstruction and, ideally to take photos with you so it can be clarified on this visit if the location of the tree in question falls within our remit . If the tree falls within the station demise then the local manager can raise the issue through our Facilities Management Helpdesk. However in the event that the tree is located on the lineside beyond the platform end, this would be a matter for Network Rail who can be contacted at https://www.networkrail.co.uk/communities/living-by-the-railway/)
