Perhaps, like me, people are not quite sure what "vegetation areas of railways" means?

If you mean vegetation management you are looking at Network Rail or a contractor such as Balfour Beatty (though IIRC they're more 'heavy duty' infrastructure side)

Hi Tony, it means cutting trees from the side of the lines and other bits and bobs.

Network Rail have an off track team who deal with lineside fencing, vegetation etc. They will do the day to day jobs and some of the bigger jobs. Larger tasks such as heavy deforestation will generally be done by contactors. Theres a huge number of them you can sign up with.

People like Buckingham Group, Leda Rail, Bam Nuttall, C Spencer, Kier, Amey etc.
