There have been many cancellations for trains heading towards Dorset due to snowfall.

South Western Railway (SWR) has reported that there have been cancellations and delays of up to twenty minutes for trains between Axminster and Salisbury.

This will be affecting the line from Axminster running through Dorset to London Waterloo.

The disruption has been caused  due to an earlier problem with the points.

A spokesperson for SWR said: "Please consider alternative travel arrangements and check before you travel.

"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."
