I was thinking that cable would be more resilient as it is mostly underground, but you're right it isn't really.
Long Wave uses simple battery powered radios, so if the grid goes down they will still work. As far as I know the backup power generation capacity at Droitwich has still been retained, & the 500kW output is at a stretch receiveable over the entire country.
