From The Andover Advertiser

Quote
RAIL users are on track to benefit from extra services through Andover – but due to planned maintenance their introduction will be delayed.

South Western Railway is set to launch its new train timetable on Sunday, May 19, providing hundreds of new services on the network.

The improvements include additional evening services on the London to Salisbury route, which passes though Andover, and a new Sunday service between Salisbury and Reading which will also travel via Andover.

However, engineering works are also scheduled for May 19.

[snip]

Normal service will resume the following day, meaning passengers will be able to enjoy the additional evening services planned for the London to Salisbury route.
