That's quite interesting. I've been at a couple of National Rail
stations (one SWT, one FCC) where the power had failed to the station
itself, but remained in place for the trains. Neither had escalators.

Unlike NR, LUL once had dedicated generating capacity, so it kind-of
makes sense.

Even the present NR had generating capacity at one time. It was decided that
the National Grid would be better value. It's hard to see that they were
wrong.
