Train hits tree at Portchester

Post by Jacko »

This morning, while waiting for my train, a train on the other side (07:30 Southern to Southampton Central) hit a tree about 10 metres from platform 1. The incident has delayed trains here around 30 minutes, I am still stuck here because of this. Heres a picture of the train in question:

I think it must have fallen across the track. When I saw the headline I envisaged a train de-railing and hitting a tree.
