BREAKING NEWS!! Power Cut affecting Railways in the South East

Interesting. I thought the Underground still took its juice from Lots Road (ie its own dedicated power station). Or is that closed now? Lots Road is closed, and is in the process of decommissioning. All LU power supply is now taken from the National Grid, via a small number of Bulk Supply Points at strategic points around London. Greenwich power station is retained as a backup supply, normally unused. |

That's odd...
My car performs as normal, despite the power cuts apparently prevalent in the SE. Even the headlights work. |

But the TfL press release said "The Tube network was evacuated, including some trains in tunnels between stations", which suggests that Greenwich might not have been wholly successful. -- Richard J.
