Local outage in a wide area including London, UK Impact on traffic network, etc.August 10, 7:44
On the 9th, in a large area including London, England, a local power outage occurred, and the subway was temporarily stopped.
According to British power transmission companies, blackouts occurred locally in the evening of 9th in parts of England including London and Wales in the West.
The power outage disappeared in a few hours, but in London, some subways running in the center and trains running in the suburbs stopped temporarily and the schedule was greatly disrupted.
Because it was the time of Friday's homecoming rush hour, there were people in the subway station and around the station, and some people were trapped in the car. Local media reports that about 1 million people were affected by the power outage.
The transmission company says that it was caused by a problem in the power generation facility, but the details are not known.
On Twitter, videos and photos are posted that show people walking in the dark using their mobile phone as an electric light, and people walking down the train after getting off the train.
The deadline is approaching at the end of October, and it is unclear where the EU will leave the European Union. There are also ironic voices, such as "I'm trying to get it back to normal by turning it in and out."
