Undefined Explosive Device (UED) event in Hampsire, Netley area, United Kingdom on Fri 3rd December 2021
3rd December 2021
An unexploded wartime bomb, discovered near a railway line, disrupted train services in Hampshire. Police were called at about 10:00 GMT to reports of a bomb unearthed at a construction site in Netley. South Western Railway (SWR) closed all lines between Sholing and Netley, near Southampton, but they have since reopened. Disposal experts carried out a controlled explosion on the device found 20m (65ft) from the rail line. SWR warned there would be some knock-on delays while services resumed. Hampshire Constabulary said officers put a 100m (328ft) cordon in place along with road closures while the bomb was dealt with.
