Title: Person hit by a train near Southampton Central (10/06/2011) Post by: Brucey on June 10, 2011, 16:14:28 This is Southampton's departure board (services showing as Delayed are also cancelled):
(http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/9587/soum.jpg) FGW services diverted through Eastleigh. No SN or SWT services between Southampton and Fareham - intermediate stations also not being served. Does anyone have any indication where the incident was?

Trains from Waterloo were running as far as Eastleigh IIRC, and reversing back from there.

Don't think the X27 is still going. There may be some NX coaches? Otherwise, those booked on the ferry from Portsmouth probably had a very long wait at SOU!
