Rail passengers are facing delays this morning.

It comes after emergency services were called to a car crash at a level crossing near Brockenhurst.

Two cars, a Land Rover and a Vauxhall, crashed on the crossing, blocking both the A337 and the railway line.

Power on the line was switched off following the crash, to allow the vehicles to be recovered.

Both cars have now been moved and the road is now clear.

A spokesman for South Western Railway has confirmed that all lines have been reopened.

He said: “Following a road accident at a level crossing earlier today between Bournemouth and Southampton Central all lines have now reopened.

“Train services running through these stations are returning to normal, but some services may still be cancelled, delayed or revised.”

He added: “Network Rail has been working hard to reopen the crossing, and normal work has resumed. As the line was blocked for a considerable amount of time many services have been affected and crew/ stock are in the wrong place. We will still need to make interventions to manage the service.”

The rail firm has apologised for any delays that may have been caused. 

Disruption is expected until 2pm.
