Rail travel in parts of Hampshire has returned to normal after disruption caused by a broken-down freight train.

National Rail said the train had been moved following the early morning incident between Winchester and Basingstoke.

It had affected mainly South Western Railway (SWR) passengers until about 12:00 GMT.

National Rail said trains were now "running normally". Previous disruption had affected routes between Weymouth, Poole, Southampton Central, Portsmouth Harbour and London Waterloo, as well as between Portsmouth Harbour and Woking.
