Mar 16 to Mar 16A fault with the signalling system between Brockenhurst and Southampton Central means that all lines are disrupted.Period:Monday, March 16, 2026 to Monday, March 16, 2026Operators:CrossCountry,South Western RailwayRelated Information:A fault with the signalling system between Brockenhurst and Southampton Central means that all lines are disrupted. As a result, trains running between these stations may be delayed by up to 60 minutes or revised. Disruption is expected until the end of the day. CrossCountry customer advice: Your ticket can be used at no extra cost on South Western Railway services between Bournemouth and Southampton Central in both directions. South Western Railway customer advice: Due to multiple signals having failed on both lines in the Brockenhurst area, trains will have to run at a reduced speed on the lines between these stations, as they have to be guided through the affected areas for safety. Engineers are working hard to fix the fault, however until these signals are fixed and working normally a heavily reduced timetable with service alterations will be in operation from the start of service. Please check journey planners and departure screens before travelling as there are a number of alterations and cancellations to reduce the amount of trains through the section of the failed signals. As a result, London Waterloo to Bournemouth/Weymouth services will be delayed by up to approximately 60 minutes in both directions whilst they go through the affected sections. Your tickets have been arranged to be used on the local buses stated below, and standby road replacement buses are being requested. We will update here when this is in place.
