Incident at Haslemere

[Oracle]

The local radio this afternoon was saying that there was an incident at Haslemere, which had resulted in trains from Guildford to Portsmouth being delayed up to 60 minutes. I wonder if they ran trains through the usual Down line or through the centre road?

Sounds like they weren't running through either road for a good while .

There were three and a half hours of delays with no trains for a long while due to a "trespass incident". Here is a quote from NRE:
