TRAINS were disrupted across Hampshire today after a hunt was launched to find two youths spotted running across the track at a New Forest station.

Police were called to reports of the trespass at Ashurst about noon which coincided with a track circuit failure.

A South West Trains spokesman said engineers were working on the track and a temporary speed restriction had been put in place.

Andy Bolton from British Transport Police said the area was searched but the youths could not be found.
