Coaches have been vandalised at Southampton Airport Parkway, causing cancellations to bus services.

A spokesperson for South Western Railway confirmed that several coaches were vandalised on Saturday night, September 28.

Images of the coaches show damage to the passenger and driver windows, with the glass broken in places.

It comes after passengers were told to avoid the station due to 'overcrowding'.

Informing followers on X, formerly known as Twitter, a spokesperson for South Western Railway (SWR) said: “Last night at Southampton Airport Parkway several coaches were vandalised which are operating both SWR and CrossCountry services.

“Due to this vandalism there will be multiple cancellations with buses today.”

SWR advised customers travelling between Southampton Central and Southampton Airport Parkway to use Eastleigh to complete their onward journey towards London Waterloo.

Wide Lane was also heavily congested on Saturday afternoon with AA Traffic News reporting delays between Southampton Airport Parkway and Eastleigh Train Station.

Several services due to pass through the station were cancelled.

Hampshire Constabulary and the British Transport Police have been approached for more information.
