Default What happened on the Tube tonight

"The Tube will now get all its electricity from the National Grid. But
in the event of National Grid failure, Lots Roads smaller sister
station at Greenwich, equipped with quick start gas turbines, will be
used for emergency power and SPL has installed battery lighting at all
stations to provide emergency lighting."


Define 'emergency power'. For trains, for lighting? Looks like a suitably
vague statement to allow them to interpret it however they want.
