BBC reports that the Greenwich standby generator is "designed to

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.


But it would be an absolute disaster if passengers were to be
evacuated from trains into unlit stations.


Of course. That's why Seeboard Powerlink has installed battery lighting in
all stations.
