What's Going On

From Monday 23 December to Sunday 5 January, major engineering work will take place in the Woking area.

Journeys between London Waterloo and Alton, Exeter St Davids, Portsmouth Harbour via Basingstoke, and Weymouth will all be affected.

Buses will replace trains between Woking, Farnborough and Basingstoke.

Train services will be amended or diverted and some journeys will take significantly longer.

Please check before you travel using a journey planner. For full information please visit our webpage here.

We’re sorry for the disruption.

• Buses from Brockenhurst to Lymington Pier will not call at Lymington Town
• A shuttle bus service will operate between Lymington Pier and Lymington Town, with customers able to cross the railway using a temporary footbridge
• Buses from Lymington Pier to Brockenhurst will continue to call at Lymington Town and Brockenhurst.

From Monday 7 October to early May 2025, the line from Ryde Pier Head to Ryde Esplanade will be closed as work continues to repair and preserve Ryde Pier. Island Line services will operate every 30 minutes between Ryde Esplanade and Shanklin, with a shuttle minibus service operating between Ryde Pier Head and Ryde Esplanade.

We’re sorry for the disruption during these closures. For more information, click here.

Major engineering work will take place on the line between Reading and London Paddington on the following dates:

• Friday 27 to Saturday 29 December (inclusive)
• Sunday 5 January

As a result, we expect increased demand for our services between Reading and London Waterloo.

On Friday 27 and Sunday 29 December, boarding controls will be in place for most of the day at Reading.

Capacity on services leaving from Reading for London Waterloo will be severely restricted.

Customers travelling into London from Reading should, where possible, travel on Elizabeth line services via Ealing Broadway.

On Sunday 5 January, boarding controls will be in place until 12:00. Customers are advised to travel on our services to London Waterloo after 12:00.
