TRAIN services in Southampton are being disrupted by a swan.

Routes between Southampton Central and Winchester are being delayed by up to 15 minutes after a train driver discovered the animal at Swaythling.

It has now been removed but disruption is expected to last until about 5pm.

In a statement, a South West Trains spokeswoman said: “We apologise for any inconvenience caused to your journey this afternoon after one of our train discovered a swan on the line.”
