Is this the most overcrowded train in the South?

There's no end in sight! Don't hold your breath! Commuters in the South are being told the overcrowding crisis on our rail network will continue as major works are delayed by up to two years.

ITV Meridian can reveal that a formal announcement will be made within weeks as Network Rail grapples with how to deal with the engineering projects running behind time. That, and a funding crisis.

• The problem is caused by a massive increase - in costs and delays to electrify the Great Western line - through the Thames Valley. The price was £874 million in 2013. It's now £2.8 billion and will be delayed.
• ITV News understands upgrades to allow electric trains to run between Reading and Newbury - and Didcot to Oxford will also be delayed.
• Priority will be given to upgrading the line from Paddington to Bristol.
• A new £500 million link from Reading to Heathrow aimed at cutting jams on the M4 may also be put back.
• And a £300 million scheme to link Oxford and Aylesbury with Bedford and Milton Keynes could be delayed by seven years.
