An obstruction on the track at Chichester means the line towards Havant is currently closed. As a result, trains may be cancelled, delayed by up to 20 minutes or revised.
Disruption is expected until 16:00.
Customer advice:
Services are unable to run between Barnham and Havant, Portsmouth and Southampton.
Trains will be delayed, and some may be subject to short notice alterations / cancellations.
Please allow extra time for your journey this afternoon. At present we would advise waiting for the line to reopen which we expect by 15:15.

Can you tell me more about the incident?
We've been advised that a builders bag is on the track in the Chichester area, and as a result the line towards Havant, Portsmouth and Southampton is blocked. Network Rail response teams are en route and once on site will remove the bag, which will require the power to be switched off for a short period of time.
