Heavy rain sees landslip hit train line leaving track hanging in mid air and rail chaos

A huge landslip following heavy rainfall has hit a rail line today, leaving the track hanging in mid air as major disruption is now expected into London.

A main railway line collapsed in a "huge" landslip on Sunday, leaving one track hanging in mid-air on the embankment to the north east of Hook station in Hampshire, on the line from London to Basingstoke.

The 44-metre landslip is now expected to cause chaos for hundreds of passengers over the next few days, as engineers need to "stabilise the embankment".
