Major disruption is impacting Dorset rail commuters today.

Due to a shortage of train crew, fewer South Western Railway (SWR) network trains are able to run. 

This has led to many cancellations across SWR network. This includes the 3.20pm and 5.03pm trains from Weymouth to London Waterloo. 

The 8.35pm train from London Waterloo to Weymouth will also be cancelled.

Disruption is expected until the end of the day.

A spokesperson for SWR said: "Due to a shortage of train crew across our network, some services on Friday, September 6 may be altered or cancelled.

"Journey planners have been updated and we strongly advise you check your journey details before travelling and allow additional time to reach your destination.

"For further information or onward travel advice please speak to a member of staff or use a station help point. We are very sorry for any delay that this may cause to your journey."
