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

Greenwich was redesigned for fast startup in emergencies. It's a gas
turbine station.

I was surprised to read that it only supplies the emergency lighting

these
days. I understand that on this occasion there sufficient grid

supplies
remained for that. It was built to supply the whole LCC tramway

network so
i would have thought it could supply more.


No Gas Turbine driven generators in LCC days !

I suspect your "redesigned" should be rebuilt with a fresh look at the
capacity required.
