| Fallen tree on tracks at Portchester halts trains - 23 June 2025 Posted by Chris from Nailsea at 08:26, 23rd June 2025 |     |
From the BBC:
A fallen tree has halted trains between Cosham and Southampton Central and Eastleigh.
The large tree across the railway line near Portchester means all lines are closed with trains unable to run affecting Great Western Railway, Southern and South Western Railway services.
National Rail said its staff were working to remove the tree as quickly as they can, however "the tree in question is very large and will take some time to remove".
Buses are replacing trains with major disruption expected until about 12:00 BST.
Routes affected:
* Great Western Railway services between Portsmouth Harbour and Bristol Temple Meads / Cardiff Central
* South Western Railway services between Portsmouth Harbour and Eastleigh / London Waterloo, between Portsmouth & Southsea and Southampton Central
* Southern services between Brighton and Southampton Central

.....National Rail said its staff were working to remove the tree as quickly as they can, .....
.....because Network Rail were far too busy to be bothered with such trivia?
