I arrived at Romsey station to find the service in disarray, SWR were advising that a tree had fallen on the line, and 2S35 13:07 Romsey to Salisbury was held in section towards Dunbridge. There were chain saw noises in the distance. Up services, from Salisbury, resumed first, then the Down line, where 4M65 was 114 minutes late passing the station, having been held on the edge of town near to the allotments and the Rapids. Romsey Rocket services had a gap through cancellations. A pair of Portsmouth - Cardiff trains were joined together at Southampton, and proceeded as a 10 car dmu, although the rear coaches could not be in use, as they exceeded the platform length.
