It seems many trains around the Portsmouth area are being disrupted due to electrical supply problems at Havant.

Anyway, the main point of this post was to share SWT^▸ (South West Trains)'s "suggestion" for passengers travelling to London (my bold):

Electrical supply problems are causing disruption at Havant.

Because of this, the following alterations will apply until approximately 09:00:

    * Trains are being delayed by up to 60 minutes
    * Some trains may be diverted via Eastleigh
    * Buses will run between Havant and Chichester

Passengers may travel by car to Alton (using car park tickets for the Portsmouth area) to use a train to London. Alternatively, passengers travelling to London from Guildford may travel via Aldershot.

South West Trains customers may use Stagecoach Buses from 08:00 between Portsmouth and Havant.

Hmm, this could be taking the definition of "alternative road transport" to the extremes!
