Default Power Cut

Bringing the power station into life does not mean that power supply is restored to the tracks straight away.

The Underground system is divided up into small sections, to which power is switched on and off from the control room at Long Acre, Leicester Square.

Surely it then simply becomes a matter of keeping the sections where passengers have been detrained dead, and livening up the other sections as and when it is required to move a train?
