South Western Railway customer advice:

Engineers are on their way to site.

Your ticket can be used, at no extra cost, on the following services:

• Southern Railway services between London Victoria - Portsmouth Harbour and Havant - Southampton Central in both directions

If you need any help with your journey, please speak to a member of staff or use a station help point.

If you would prefer to use local buses to continue your journey please check Traveline. South Western Railway tickets are not valid on local buses unless stated above.

Southern customer advice:

Southern services from Havant towards the Portsmouth and Southampton areas will be delayed by around 10-20 minutes due to a signalling problem at Bedhampton.

To reduce congestion, there will now be some service changes, which will affect each of the below routes in both directions:

• Direct trains between London Victoria and Portsmouth Harbour will be reduced, and some will divert to Bognor Regis or only run between London Victoria and Chichester

• Trains between Brighton and Portsmouth & Southsea will only run between Brighton and either Chichester and Havant

• Trains between Brighton and Southampton Central will be reduced, and some will divert to Bognor Regis

This means you may need to change trains more often than usual to get to your destination.

Please check our journey planning tools, listen to announcements and check station screens when travelling.
