Trains between Weymouth and Poole have been running at reduced speed due to a tree blocking the line.

South Western Railway said a tree partially blocked the railway between Poole and Wareham, causing trains to run at reduced speed on the line towards Weymouth.

The rail operator said train services running through these stations would be delayed. It was first thought that disruption would affect travel until 9am today, but South Western Railway later said disruption would continue until 11am.

It is understood that the problem has now been resolved.

For further information or onward travel advice passengers are advised to speak to a member of staff or use a station help point.
