The adjustments affect 21 services until 6.44pm and rail users are advised to check the status of their journey before they travel.

It comes on the final day of a public South Western Railway consultation, through which service users can have their say on the firm’s plans to make major changes to its network next year.

Customers who face delays of more than 15 minutes on South Western Railway trains today can claim ‘delay repay’ through the firm’s website.
