Stranded at Ashurst Heavy rain caused flooding of the railway in the vicinity. All trains were stopped and, seemingly, there are no bus services in this area in the evenings. A promised rail replacement bus never arrived. Passengers were advised to &#039;make their own arrangements&#039;. I ended up getting a taxi to Southampton at considerable expense!
