Description
There are engineering works taking place between Eastleigh / Southampton Central and Portsmouth Harbour today, Saturday 12 September and on Sunday 13 September. During this time, buses will be replacing South Western Railway trains on these routes.
As a result of a lack of available rail replacement buses, there will be fewer bus services running on the affected routes. Those services that do operate are expected to be much busier than usual due to a number of events taking place in the area.
If you are travelling on these routes, you are advised to consider only travelling if your journey are essential.
Check before you travel:

Compensation:
You may be entitled to compensation if you experience a delay in completing your journey today. Please keep your train ticket and make a note of your journey, as both will be required to support any claim.
