Hampshire commuters stranded by rail fault near Waterloo Hampshire commuters stranded by rail fault near Waterloo

HAMPSHIRE commuters have been left stranded after train tracking equipment failed during rush hour.

The fault at Barnes junction has meant trains cannot leave or enter Waterloo, where currently thousands of passengers are crowding into the station.

Network Rail said engineers are at the site of the failure which has meant trains cannot move along the Richmond to Waterloo route.

No Hampshire commuters are likely to be stranded by this - that line doesn't go into Hampshire at all. Worst case might be light disruption.

Stay overnight in London. Maybe take in a show. Mention MGRA to Pete Stringfellow. I'm sure your get in to his club.

Yeah, the only time you'd find the Hampshire bound trains using that line is when they divert them during engineering works between Clapham and Woking.

Nothing can beat the excuse I heard a few years ago whilst working in Salisbury... "We apologise, but the 6.30 Portsmouth Harbour service has been cancelled due to a collision with a cow" ... true story
