Portsmouth Train Travel: Line cleared after tree falls on tracks between Swanwick and Fareham amid heavy rain

South Western Railway (SWR) said the problem affected the network between Swanwick and Fareham, with trains postentially being "cancelled" or "delayed".

SWR reported on X, formerly known as Twitter, that all lines were blocked. "A tree on the line is affecting the railway between Swanwick and Fareham. Trains may be cancelled, delayed or revised because of this problem," SWR reports.

"At this time, we estimate that disruption to our services will end at 9am, all lines are blocked and your journey is likely to take longer." SWR said the network has now been reopened and no delays are expected.
