RAIL passengers faced disruption this morning between Bournemouth and Brockenhurst.

The Bournemouth-bound line was reportedly blocked due to a broken rail.

However, South Western Railway (SWR) said a Network Rail engineering team inspected the area and no damage to any of the track was identified.

Services were delayed until around 12pm as a result.

A train fault has also been reported at Southampton Parkway which means London-bound trains are currently blocked.
