RAIL lines from Weymouth are expected to be the ‘worst hit’ by severe weather over the next 24 hours.

South West Trains says the line between Weymouth and Southampton could see disruption as a result of high winds and rain tonight and tomorrow morning.

A spokesman said: “At present we are planning to run a normal weekday timetable on all routes on the evening of  December 11, 2014 and the morning of December 12, 2014 however any debris or fallen vegetation caused by the wind may block parts of our line. This may require us to change some train schedules so we can clear the track.

“In particular, the first trains to run over tracks in affected areas may need to be cancelled. These trains would then be used by our operational teams to clear and check routes are safe to begin passenger services.”

Any changes will be published on the website and customers are advised to check before they travel by following at @SW_Trains.
