HUGE queues were spotted at Basingstoke train station this morning (Monday, November 1), with dozens of passengers queuing for replacement bus services.

Line closures due to a combination of weather issues, rail works and last night's train crash at Salisbury are believed to be causing the crowds.

It comes after rail passengers were warned not to travel between Basingstoke and Salisbury on Monday as investigations continue into the cause of a train crash on Sunday.

Two trains collided at Fisherton Tunnel in Salisbury on October 31.

At around 18.45 GMT onSunday, October 31, the rear carriage of a Great Western Railway service from Portsmouth Harbour to Bristol Temple Meads derailed, after striking an object on its approach to Salisbury station at Fisherton Tunnel.

At this stage, it is not known what the object is or how it got there.

Signalling in the area was knocked out in the collision.

As a result, the following South Western Railway service from London Waterloo to Honiton then collided with the Bristol train.

In a join statement, GWR, SWR and Network Rail have warned passengers to expect disruption in the Salisbury area on Monday.

The railway will be closed in Salisbury on Monday, and will affect SWR services between Exeter and Basingstoke.

Passengers are urged not to travel on this part of the network.
