Signalling snag halts trains in Portsmouth

A signalling problem halted trains in and out of Portsmouth Harbour station this morning.

South West Trains said the disruption was expected to continue until approximately 10am.

A spokesman said: ‘Trains are currently unable to run to and from Portsmouth Harbour. Some trains may be terminated short of their destination, and started back from Fratton or Portsmouth & Southsea. They may also be revised to run non-stop for some of their journey.

‘South West Trains passengers may use Stagecoach buses on routes 20, 21, 23 and 700 between Portsmouth/Cosham and Havant.

‘Southern passengers may use Stagecoach buses between Portsmouth and Havant.’
