Title: Severe Weather conditions - 25 Jan 14

Some pretty bad weather on the South Coast tonight.

Signalling problems have affected services between Portsmouth and Salisbury.

Initially road conditions were too bad to run buses, but now one (or more) has been found to run from Eastleigh to Cardiff after five northbound services either finished short or started further up the line.

At the moment, Portsmouth to Cardiffs are running in two parts, i.e. Portsmouth Hbr to Eastleigh and Salisbury to Cardiff and vice versa.  Regarding arrangements for passenger, the "Show further Information" Box merely says refer to FGW Twitter.
FGW says nothing about it.
