Route(s) affected

Between London Waterloo and Weymouth

Description

Lines have reopened following a tree blocking the railway between Wareham and Wool. Trains between Bournemouth and Weymouth may still be cancelled, delayed by up to 40 minutes or revised.

Disruption is expected until 21:00.

Customer advice:

The crew on the train which came across a tree blocking the railway line have since managed to remove it and all lines have now reopened. While the issue has been resolved, disruption will continue because of trains and crew being out of place.
