Hourly Lymington Trains Resume After Weekend Landslip Repairs

Safety checks continue before a full timetable resumes.

Overview

  • An hourly service is operating on January 20 between Brockenhurst and Lymington Pier following emergency works.
  • Network Rail stabilised an embankment near Battramsley by driving steel sheet piles to hold the slope in place.
  • Crews rebuilt supporting ground and replaced ballast, with a tamper running overnight to restore track alignment.
  • Buses replaced trains on January 17–18 while the line was closed for safety during the repairs.
  • Network Rail and South Western Railway say full services will return once inspections confirm the infrastructure is safe.
