Can you tell me more about the incident?
Points are moveable sections of track that allow trains to be routed to their destination. In this case, trains are being delayed by a fault with points at Cosham. Network Rail teams are on site and investigating the fault.
Points can stop moving correctly for a number of reasons. For example, there may be an obstruction in the moving parts, or the electronic control systems may have developed a fault.
Network Rail have sent their specialist Signalling & Telecoms teams to the site as a priority, and they will set up a safe method of working on the track. As soon as it's safe to go on the line, they will diagnose the fault and find any quick solutions to resolve it.
Whilst this is being done, we will be monitoring progress closely. At times, replacement parts may be needed, or specialist advice from suppliers, which is why some points failures take longer to resolve than others.
