I mentioned Uxbridge, not Epping.
... in the context of "power supply problems" - which may or may not have
been caused by iced-up conductor rails. Which were reported all over the

I can't think of an explaination for the widespread disruption that
/isn't/ ice-on-the-conductor rails - something like the national
grid being unable to supply sufficent current to LUL due to their

and they didn't report power supply problems.
What's a plausible alternative?
Problems with substations?
