Heard a report on LBC last night that Clapham Junction got closed due to
a
lighting failure on the platforms - then nothing more.

Was it just a brief incident not worthy of anything else, or did they
just
get it wrong?


My husband said that it was total chaos yesterday morning - it took him
a long time to get to work, and a lot of trains ran through empty, were
delayed, or just vanished into thin air. There was power (and
announcements) up to about platform 11, but certainly none on platform
13 onwards. He was relieved that neither his homeward journey last
night, nor his journey to work this morning needed to involve Clapham
Junction!

Went through there about 5:15 last night. My train should have stopped there
but we were told (after leaving Waterloo) that the station was closed due to
a power failure. As we went through it was completely deserted apart from
one person taking photographs of the trains at the London end of one of the
platforms!
