TRAIN services in Dorset are facing disruption this afternoon due to a precarious tree.

Due to a precarious tree at Holton Heath trains have to run at reduced speed on the line towards Weymouth, say South Western Railway.

As a result, train services running through this station could face delays, with disruption expected until 3pm.

A spokesman for South Western Railway said: "We have been informed of a precarious tree at Holton Heath. This means that trains have to run at reduced speed on the line towards Weymouth.

"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."
