Still waiting for them to update the advice about tickets for the evening of the event when the 'do not travel' request went out initially saying that travel could be made the following day, then updated to November 6th, then....nothing. SWR» (South Western Railway - about) have done the same

I'm guessing that all stations can now be reached, in some way.

Cancelled
10:48 Romsey to Portsmouth Harbour
11:08 Portsmouth Harbour to Romsey
12:08 Portsmouth Harbour to Romsey
12:50 Romsey to Portsmouth Harbour
13:48 Romsey to Portsmouth Harbour
14:08 Portsmouth Harbour to Romsey

Strikes me as not clever - two successive cancellations in what's presently an hourly service from Romsey into Southampton, but at normal times is 3 trains per hour.  I guess that SWR» (South Western Railway - about) crew who would normally drive the suspended "Romsey 6" service aren't available to drive the GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) ones?

Edit to add - I note another post that there are SWR buses Salisbury - Romsey - Eastleigh running.

I'm planning to get the 0856 Bristol TM‡(resolve) to Cardiff tomorrow morning. This service and only this service has a service update due to the accident but there's nothing specific. Are GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) services being cancelled still? The next train is at 0924, which will be too late, but I don't want to head for the 0835 unnecessarily. <Not a morning person!>
