BBC reports that the Greenwich standby generator is "designed to power
safety lights in trains and stations".

The Times said something similar this morning. It seems we may have been
seriously misled about the capability of the Greenwich power station. All
this stuff about LU's legal obligation to have a second power supply. Not
much good if it can't run the trains.

Why not spit the trains up into groups so only a hand full would be moving at
a time in a power cut? So group 1 gets the go ahead to move to the next station
at 25% speed then when they all check in group 2 and so on to keep the loads
on secondary power down.
