    Tens of thousands of train passengers are to face disruption to their journeys during a £130m engineering project that is set to start on Friday.

    Major work on signalling around Basingstoke will see lines at the Hampshire station closed to services. Network Rail's project will last until 15 April and will see buses laid on and services across the South diverted.

    Rail disruption hits after Easter

    Commuters came back to work after the Easter weekend to face the biggest rail disruption in 40 years.

    The £130m works around Basingstoke, Hampshire, also meant delays of up to an hour for people travelling from Wiltshire and Berkshire.

    More than 90 buses replaced trains as up to 800 track workers put in place the changes to tracks and signalling.
