Description
A fault with the signalling system at Brockenhurst means trains have to run at a reduced speed on the line towards Southampton Central. As a result, trains between these stations may be cancelled, delayed by up to 30 minutes or revised.
Disruption is expected until the end of the day.
South Western Railway customer advice:
Engineers are on site and investigating the fault. Until then, trains will run at a reduced speed as they are talked past by the signaller.
