I wonder if this will support NR's tendency towards more aggressive rail-side vegetation management.

it grows on the line behind my house. before the initial case it would take NR ages to deal with it, however, since the ruling it takes a week.

Just heard the story on the R4 news. It has implications for all landowners. One of my neighbours had to spend a fortune eradicating Japanese Knotweed from her property which came from the garden next door. The absentee landlord owner (of the next door property) did absolutely bugger all about it so she ended up footling the bill and having to take her property off the market until it was sorted so the judgement has a big thumbs up from me.
