A FIRE near a Hampshire railway track sparked travel chaos earlier today.
Train services were disrupted following a fire next to the track between Southampton Central and Bournemouth stations this morning.
According to South Western Railway (SWR), the blaze has been tackled and power has been restored to the tracks.
However, some services between the two stations faced delays and cancellations up until around midday.
All issues have since been resolved.
A statement from the train operator said: "Trains are now running normally following a fire next to the track between Southampton Central and Bournemouth and there should be no further delays to your journey."
