Train services between Bournemouth and Southampton have been hit by delays following a points failure.

South Western Railway (SWR) said the problem at Brockenhurst meant the line towards Southampton was blocked.

The rail firm said the problem had been fixed and the lines had reopened but trains may be cancelled, delayed by up to 60 minutes or revised.

National Rail said disruption on the route was expected until about 12:00 BST.
