Is there a website which shows past engineering works?

The closest I can think of is the Engineering Access Statement, which goes back to 2021. It's not super intuitive though, and wont account for last minute stuff, and some of the possessions might not have happened.

Cheers guys :). I'm guessing this means that there's no way to access previous weekday night engineering works

That will be in the engineering access statement linked in #2 Sections 4 (regular engineering work when nothing is timetabled) and Section 5 (cyclical maintenance which is disruptive to the WTT). However, it won't detail what's actually happened and some of them are ambiguous saying things like possession of fast lines or slow lines. You could FOI Network Rail for details if there's something specific you're looking for on specific dates. I think you want the Confirmed Period Possession Plan (?) or you could ask generally.

Section 7 is used for the non-cyclical / more disruptive work, typically weekend.

This excellent website lets you see some information about past and future engineering works.
While very helpful, those maps usually only cover Section 7 possessions.

Thanks so much!

I can't seem to find a Section 7 for the East Coast. Does this not exist or am i going mental?

EAS documents > EAS ARP 25-26 Sections 5 & 7 > V2.1 > S7 FINAL EAS ARP 2526 LNE.pdf

V2/V2.1 is for the first half of the year and V4/V4.1 is for the second half. Network Rail did change the format recently from timetable periods to financial years so there's a mix of folder structures.

The CPPP but also potentially with Weekly Operating Notice (WON) and WON Supplements, if necessary as things can change between the CPPP publication and actual day.
