BIG BIG PROBLEMS
Eastleigh
Kevin Jenkin

A poor quality dusk and rain phone photo of the derailed freightliner at Eastleigh station. This has caused chaos with most services in the Southampton / Winchester area cancelled. A journey from Winchester to Swaythling involved a lengthy queue at Winchester and a rail provided taxi to Eastleigh station, and then a long walk.
The derailment took place in late morning and severe disruption is set to continue tomorrow.
All wagons remain generally upright. It's not a good season for South Western Railway.

Eastleigh Big problems were caused by this derailment. 28th January 2020. Copyright Kevin Jenkin

N.B. Kevin's journey - Winchester to Swaythling took two and half hours as opposed to the normal 30 mins.  He will be working from home today while the clear up at Eastleigh continues!!

Many thanks Kevin
