RAILWAY lines have reopened after a vehicle blocked a level crossing at Brockenhurst this morning. 

Disruption was expected until 10am with passengers services facing cancellations, delays or revisions.

South Western Railway services between London Waterloo and Bournemouth, Poole and Weymouth were impacted.

Cross Country services between Manchester Piccadilly/Birmingham New Street and Bournemouth were also affected.

However, giving an update just before 7.45am, South Western Railway said: "Following a road vehicle blocking the railway at Brockenhurst all lines have now reopened."

Posting on its website earlier, South Western Railway said: “We have been informed of a road vehicle blocking the railway at Brockenhurst level crossing.

“This means that all lines through the area are currently blocked.

“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.”
