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

BBC reports that the Greenwich standby generator is "designed to power
safety lights in trains and stations".


The Times said something similar this morning. It seems we may have been
seriously misled about the capability of the Greenwich power station. All
this stuff about LU's legal obligation to have a second power supply. Not
much good if it can't run the trains.
