Anyway, the main point of this post was to share
SWT▸ 's "suggestion" for passengers travelling to London (my bold):
Electrical supply problems are causing disruption at Havant.
Because of this, the following alterations will apply until approximately 09:00:
* Trains are being delayed by up to 60 minutes
* Some trains may be diverted via Eastleigh
* Buses will run between Havant and Chichester
Passengers may travel by car to Alton (using car park tickets for the Portsmouth area) to use a train to London. Alternatively, passengers travelling to London from Guildford may travel via Aldershot.
South West Trains customers may use Stagecoach Buses from 08:00 between Portsmouth and Havant.
Hmm, this could be taking the definition of "alternative road transport" to the extremes!
