Service Updates

Train Service Updates

See if there is any service disruption on the Southern network, check live departures and arrivals from any station or find out about any alternative routes during unplanned disruption.

A fault with the signalling system between Fareham and Cosham means that trains must run at a reduced speed towards Brighton.
As a result, trains through these stations may be cancelled, delayed by up to 20 minutes or revised.
Disruption is expected until 18:00.
South Western Railway customer advice:
Trains travelling from Eastleigh and Southampton heading towards Havant and Portsmouth will have to run at a reduced speed. They may be delayed by up to 20 minutes.
Some services from Southampton or Fareham that would pass through this section towards Havant may be diverted to run via Eastleigh or cancelled.
Trains travelling from Portsmouth stations and Havant heading toward Eastleigh and Southampton are unaffected by this, but may still encounter delays due to the awaiting trains to pass at junctions or delays from their previous journey.
How do I get to my destination?
If you are travelling from Eastleigh or Southampton heading towards Portsmouth stations, your train is still able to run but will take longer than usual, as trains have to be verbally guided through this area for safety.
If you need any help with your journey, please speak to a member of staff or use a station help point.
If you would prefer to use local buses to continue your journey please check Traveline - South Western Railway tickets are not valid on local buses unless stated above.
Southern customer advice:
You can continue to use your planned route to travel, however, Southern recommend allowing 15 minutes more time to arrive at your destination.
Planning your journey:
Live departure boards can be viewed, as well as a live map of the network.
You can also see an alternative route guide.
If you're travelling in the London area, you can plan journeys on alternative routes by using the TfL Journey Planner. You can also use the Southern app to find up-to-date information.
Can you tell me more about the incident?
Trains may be delayed due to a signal fault in this area. The signal is stuck on red, so drivers must stop and get verbal permission to continue, making journeys longer.
Railway signals warn drivers when they need to stop. Normally, a green light means the track is clear, while yellow signals warn of a red light ahead, helping drivers slow down safely.
Signalling follows "fail-safe" principles. If a signal cannot change properly, it defaults to red, even if the track is clear. This causes delays as trains must wait for instructions.
Network Rail maintains the system, and we are working with them to fix the issue as quickly as possible. In the meantime, we are monitoring services and doing our best to keep trains running.
Check before you travel:
You can check your journey using the National Rail Enquiries real-time Journey Planner.
Compensation:
You may be entitled to compensation if you experience a delay in completing your journey today. Please keep your train ticket and make a note of your journey, as both will be required to support any claim.
