Cancellations to services between Ashurst New Forest and Beaulieu Road
Due to a safety inspection of the track between Ashurst New Forest and Beaulieu Road trains have to run at reduced speed on the line towards Brockenhurst.

What's Going On:

Train services running through these stations may be cancelled, delayed by up to 15 minutes or revised. Disruption is expected until the end of the day.

What We're Doing About It:

Due to the complexity of the issue, engineers will attend overnight to ensure that repairs are in place so that trains can run as scheduled tomorrow.

Until then, trains running through the area towards Brockenhurst will run at a reduced speed of 20mph as a matter of caution. As a result, trains are subject to delays and short notice alterations to minimise disruption.
