I would hope that tube stations had emergency lighting with battery backup. It would be scary to be plunged into complete darkness knowing the platform edge was somewhere near and people were panicking around you.

Doesn't matter why they happened, they happened, when being run by the state.

You will see this happen more as all the utility companies are cutting back making what they think are savings in order to keep paying dividends to shareholders, I say it again the Thatcher era is beginning to rear it’s ugly head more and more.
And of course,we never had masses of power cuts in the 70's, when the electricity companies were in state hands.

Definitely Putin. It was going on on Thursday too, had to work in Birmingham for the day and getting back to Euston was a nightmare with the station on lockdown and no trains in or out for hours.
67 - we lived by Fratton Park for ten years or so before moving back to London. Some decent streets at the top end of Southsea back in the day.

I understand a couple of power sources went out.
And that meant widespread power cuts and no trains out of Euston , Kings X or Waterloo.
Think that needs a bit of explanation as it sounds like a massive effect from a minor blowout.
Presume the Frenchmen who own UK power were on holiday

Currently having my windows battered and bins rattled, initially thought that might have been the reason since it has been off and on since the afternoon.
But no.

Yeah, I remember the good old days of the state run utilities when nothing ever went wrong ever.

I work in Welwyn Garden City and live in London. Last night I left work at 5.30 and got home at 11pm.. Much of that was hanging around for trains that never came or for replacement buses with an angry mob, but also had a long bus and tube journey.
Still, it was more entertaining than a normal evening in Welwyn Garden City.
I didn't see much in the way of extreme weather though. A couple of big downpours.

When they said the South West and Surrey were going to have power cuts I did feel sorry for all those Liverpool fans who would miss their match.

Where are the Thunder Storms?
Where is Michael Fish?
Been a lovely day with a spot of rain in Cambridge/Hertfordshire today.
Maybe the Thatched Headed Cunt should start predicting the Mother Fucking Weather.
