The Luton Switch had planned maintenance work carried out over night last night, due to a problem which arose during the works the lines have been down since 2.30am they were off all day and we were being told within an hour they would be back up, we could call out as long as it was beyond the luton switch which affects lots of herts and beds as well.
Please accept our appologies for this fault and rest assured that our engineers are working on a resolution as we speak.
Hopefully the fault will be rectified by tomorrow morning if not then its another very stressful and busy day for us at NTL tomorrow and for our customers!
Im sorry that is all I know at the moment when if worst comes to worst and they arent back on by tomorrow i will try and find out more when i get into work and post here
thanks for your patience.
**EDIT** Its a fault with the switch not the power supplys we have even got Marconi engineers working on this as well, although yes it would appear the Luton police do indeed use NTL as a line provider.
