A train service has been suspended this morning due to a lack of staff.

Rail commuters travelling between Brockenhurst and Lymington Pier may see serious disruption this morning.

Due to a shortage of train crew between Brockenhurst and Lymington Pier fewer trains are able to run.

This may impact people travelling to the Isle of Wight.

Disruption is expected to continue until 11.15am, and at this time, train tickets will
be accepted on the following services between the times of 09.30am and 11.15am:

Bluestar 6 between Brockenhurst and Lymington
Morebus X1 and X2 between Lymington - New Milton - Christchurch - Bournemouth
Morebus 120 between New Milton - Sway - Lymington
Morebus 119 between New Milton and Lymington

There will also be a rail replacement bus confirmed to shuttle between Brockenhurst and Lymington Pier calling at Lymington Town and starting from Brockenhurst at 10am-11.15am.


A spokesperson for South Western Railway said: “For further information or onward travel advice please speak to a member of staff or use a station help point. We are very sorry for any delay that this may cause to your journey.”
