Large part of york without power

[StealthPolarBear]

Apparently shops businesses and roads affected. Station closed. All trains diverted or cancelled. I am on one that is delayed now.

Wow Hope you arent held up for too long.

Im in Essex but saw on the news how businesses and shops are struggling and this Christmas could be make or break for some of them. A power cut 3 weeks before Christmas wont help.

Reopened apparently that was quick! We are now stopping there after all to pick up the masses

Oh no! I hope that poster wasn’t getting her hair done!

Seriously though that’s so shit. Hope it gets back on soon.

Yes I thought that. Although Monday night this early in December might not have been planned for late night opening.
There are always a couple of homeless men on the benches over the road, they will be in pitch black :(

Sorry you've been disrupted... Some clot on a demolition site has sliced through a load of power cables and plunged a huge chunk of York city centre into darkness. Hopefully you'll be on the move again, and kept warm in the meantime.

I had forgotten that :o she was probably on a train to york, planning to pop into the council, do some shopping, charge her phone and have her hair done!

Power has been restored at #York station. Aprox 1000 properties in the city still without power though. #CapitalReports

It happened here several years ago Anglian Water cut through an electric cable so after six hours of no water we had six hours of no electric.
