Between Bournemouth and Southampton Central

Description

A fault with the signalling system between Christchurch and New Milton is causing disruption to journeys between Bournemouth and Southampton Central. Trains running between these stations may be cancelled, delayed by up to 20 minutes or revised.

This is expected until 12:00.

CrossCountry customer advice:

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