🚨 Attention rail travellers in Southern England! 🚨
Today’s train travel is facing some major hiccups due to a pesky radio fault affecting communication between drivers and signallers. This means delays and cancellations across the network are expected to cause quite the disruption until the day’s end.
Affected routes include CrossCountry, Gatwick Express, Great Western Railway, London Overground, Southern, South Western Railway (SWR) and Thameslink. Some services might be delayed by up to 45 minutes or even up to 90 minutes, with potential cancellations.
SWR is on the case, working with their operations and engineering teams alongside signallers to sort out the issue. Unfortunately, there’s no estimated time yet on when everything will be back on track. Meanwhile, they suggest checking out local bus services as an alternative route.
For those with tickets, you’re in luck as they’re being honoured on several bus services in areas like Woking, Basingstoke, Southampton, Weymouth, Poole, Bournemouth, and Salisbury, so you can keep moving without any additional cost.
We know this is far from ideal, and everyone’s working hard to fix things. Stay updated throughout the day and plan accordingly to avoid any more travel stress. Safe travels, everyone! 🚂💬
