Southern are unable to run any services in or out of Southampton until further notice. You will have to change trains more than normal and your journey is likely to be extended by up to 30 minutes. Please check journey planners for the latest information regarding your train.

Southern will be working to the following service alterations:

• trains that would normally run between Brighton and Southampton will terminate at Fareham or Eastleigh and restart back to Brighton from there
• the train that was due to run from Three Bridges to Southampton at 05:58 will terminate and restart back at Bognor Regis
• trains that should have run from Southampton Central to London Victoria will start at Portsmouth Harbour instead

 Your ticket will be accepted on the following, at no extra cost:

• London Underground between terminal stations

 

Can you tell me more about the incident?

During overnight engineering works in the Southampton area a fault to a set of points has been reported. Because of this, the number of trains in and out of Southampton has to be reduced and services will only run as far as Fareham. Network Rail are continuing to work to repair these points with the view to returning to a full service.
