The tube seems to be takeing a battering with the bakerloo line closed

various other closures. What is going on?

A complete guess on my part but I would imagine there has been a failure
either at a bulk supply point between the national electricity network
and the LU one or there is a cable related problem on the high voltage
network. It's hard to say whether that is national grid or LU side.


My understanding is that it is an EDF fault at St Johns Wood


Out of curiosity how and when did you find that out given that you posed
the original question?

It was stated on Radio BBC London that "EDF say there is a fault at St John
Wood". It also makes sense as BBC london themselves and the traffic lights
in the area are in darkness. If it was an LUL side fault I would have
expected various lines to be closed and doom stories about the underground
being shut but few problems elsewhere.
