Just received this from FGW▸ (First Great Western), who are also sorry for the disruption this is causing to passengers :

Quote from: FGW▸ (First Great Western)
In terms of background we had some serious track circuit problems at a few locations between Romsey - Salisbury since Sunday and initially it was believed to be connnected to contaminated railhead due to leaf fall. However, NR» (Network Rail - home page) are not satisfied that this is the cause and clearly technical testing needs to be concluded. This has resulted in the introduction of " block working" in the area and hence delays and some services having to be withdrawn due to congestion.
