Default Power Cut

Power Grid failure in Central London. No power. Very little tube. All
major stations in central London closed. People stuck on trains in the
dark.
So what happened to the back-up station in Greenwich? And legal
requirement to have back-up power that was talked about in posts when it
was discussed here after New York power failure?
I feel sorry for the commuters. I mean its bad enough the **** service
(Ken Livingstone has confirmed the service is **** before anyone
comments) but to be stuck on a tunnel deep underground in the dark. Im
glad I don't work in Central London and get the bus to work.
Anyone know what time it happened? And was it a gradual thing or did
everything stop at once?
