THERE is disruption on the railway lines after a person trespassed on the tracks.
Power to the line between Basingstoke and Surbiton had to be shut off while authorities moved the person from the track and to safety.
This has caused a delay to services or in some cases cancellations.
Network rail have reinstated electricity to the track, but distribution to services is expected to last until 4pm tonight.
⚠️*UPDATE 23/10* Following a trespass incident between Basingstoke and Surbiton, all lines have reopened. Trains running between these stations may still be cancelled or revised. Disruption is expected until 16:00. More information : https://t.co/pkL7rv4JVT
