COMMUTERS were delayed this evening when a broken-down train causes major delays on one of the South's major routes.
There were delays of an hour on CrossCountry services between Southampton Central and Birmingham New Street.
It followed a freight train breaking down between Reading and Didcot Parkway earlier.
The backlog is causing delays to both Cross Country and First Great Western services.
Normal services resumed by 10pm.
