Rail services are running normally following disruption caused by a shortage of train crew.

According to National Rail, trains between Bournemouth and Weymouth are back on schedule.

Earlier it was reported that services may be cancelled or revised as a result of staff shortages. Disruption was expected until 1.30pm today.

It comes a day ahead of a five-day strike.

The RMT union is staging the action from Tuesday to Saturday over the guard guarantee on trains, and it means fewer trains will be running.

South Western Railway (SWR) has now announced what services it will be running on strike days.

For Weymouth and Dorchester passengers, SWR will be running an hourly train shuttle to and from Bournemouth. Passengers can change at Bournemouth for trains (hourly service) to Southampton and London.

The summer service from Weymouth to Corfe Castle won't be running next Saturday. And Holton Heath station will not be served on strike days.
