RAIL travellers are facing lengthy delays due to icy conditions in Hampshire.

The icy conditions in the Swanwick area, as well as injuries suffered by a South West Trains worker at Bursledon station, mean services between Southampton Central and Fareham are facing delays of up to 60 minutes.

A spokesman for South West Trains said emergency services were currently treating the member of staff at Bursledon, with their injuries thought to have been caused accidentally.

A spokesperson for South Central Ambulance service said that they had a call at 9:17am and sent a rapid response vehicle and ambulance crew to assess a man who sustained a leg injury on the platform.

He was treated at the scene by paramedics and was then taken to Southampton General Hospital.

South West Trains said services have now returned to normal.
