Do you have a power cut right now? How bad is it please? Are all the stations out? I've got some colleagues due back to the Midlands from London but I'm not sure that will be happening!

Pix on Twitter showing outage affecting Clapham Junction, so that could bugger up quite a lot going out of London to the south/southwest

Heard on the news that power went out in Ipswich and the hospital back up generator also failed. Anyone local to there know if it's back on?

All good in Nottingham

'We' being me and DD(6).

We are very grateful for all the kindnesses.

I managed to leave London just in time!

Very concerned about the generator failing at Ipswich hospital - I hope they have managed to sort it quickly and no one has come to harm x

I'm in Cumbria, we had no power for a while but it's since come back on. We haven't got any water though which is a nightmare so I've sent the hubby out to buy some bottled water so I can make bottles for my LG.
Hope your power is back on soon 🤞🏼

I am assured that power is back at Ipswich hospital.

BBC has just reported Breaking News that the national grid is now working normally, and the two failures have been resolved.

Okay at the moment just outside Durham.

AuntieStella · 09/08/2019 19:14

Very glad to hear about the hospital!

And I hope everywhere is Ok now

Cant say I've noticed any power cuts here in windy Milton Keynes 💁‍♀️

Sussexbonfireviking · 09/08/2019 19:22

We had a power cut 2 days ago, 1am to 3pm, but we are ok today

OK in SW London/Surrey but I know a lot of London has problems - Clapham looks bad and King’s Cross has been closed completely.
