Commuters across the region are facing major disruption today due to a signalling problem at London Waterloo. South Western Railway has confirmed that several lines are currently blocked, affecting services across the entire network, including routes that serve Andover.
Passengers are being strongly advised not to travel, as trains in and out of London Waterloo are subject to widespread cancellations, delays, and last-minute platform changes. Platforms 1 to 14 at Waterloo are currently out of use, creating a significant backlog and making it difficult for services to operate safely or reliably.
The disruption is expected to continue throughout the day, with no clear indication of when normal services will resume. Travellers should check live updates regularly and consider alternative arrangements if travel is essential.
South Western Railway has apologised for the inconvenience and says it is working closely with Network Rail to resolve the issue. In the meantime, customers are urged to delay their journeys or seek alternative transport options where possible.
