Any idea what has happened to SWT today? No trains Bournemouth-Southampton, Guildford-Portsmouth, Fareham-Cosham and Island Line is suspended.
I know the weather is poor but only the WoE line seems unaffected at the moment. My wife left Reading at 0830 trying to get to Pompey as she and I have been marooned in a hotel in Reading while we tend to our daughter who is in hospital, whilst the journey is not a life or death matter it is necessary nonetheless as our daughter now has no clean clothes to wear in hospital and we have already put the journey off twice.
So is this a case of trains iced to the live rail or is it something else? She was stuck at Basingstoke and got told that the train in front had broken down but I don't even know if that is true.
