Title: trains winchester to southampton on Saturday?

General question, are the trains running on Saturday?  I checked the website and looks like they are on but some disruption is reported.

Landslip near Winchester, meant I had to drive to Basingstoke to get a train into London this morning. Happnedd last night, and looking at the pic it appears to be so massive that one bloke with a teaspoon could clear it in 10 minutes.
Will be fixed very soon apparently

Don't think that there will be any trains.  There was engineering work already in the schedule for this weekend that affected this route.  And now the RMT will be on strike.  The SWR website says that trains will not run between Winchester and Southampton Central (although this seems to be more about the engineering work).
