A train operator has reduced services after diesel engines were clogged with biofuel, reports BBC News<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Western Railway (SWR) said a fault was discovered on Wednesday in much of its diesel fleet at depots in Exeter and Salisbury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It said the issue would disrupt services in the Romsey area and west of Salisbury until further notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BBC South transport correspondent Paul Clifton said SWR would run a fraction of normal services on the routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the issue would affect the West of England line for the next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
