Passengers on the Portsmouth to London line are experiencing delays after a train derailed at the Fratton depot.
The derailment has resulted in several of the lines from Portsmouth being blocked and fewer services being able to run as a result.
Our thanks to Jamie Allen for sharing this photos below of the derailment. He told News OnTheWight that he couldn’t see any passengers on the derailed train.
