Power cut

Post by Suzee »

Our power went off on Kirkdale about 20mins ago. Thames Water workers say it's not them so have called EDF. Anyone else affected?
Bit of a pain as have young baby and can't go out as expecting delivery!

Assuming only small area affected then? Power didn't come back on until 10pm, so 7.5hours without power... Apparently a cable was cut by the workers on the Thames Water works. Let's hope they don't do it again!

Interesting. We're on a road just off lower Kirkdale and we were told that it was a fuse blown at the power station. We we're back on about 8 although they did say that they hadn't been able to restore power to everyone yet. Perhaps the fuse blew because someone went through the cable ...
