Major power outage hits the country
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-49300025
Quote:
Major power failures have been reported across large areas of the UK, affecting trains, airports and traffic lights.
Power operators for the South East, Midlands, South West and Wales said there was a "major incident" affecting electricity.
UK Power Networks said it believed it was due to a "failure on National Grid's network".
Transport for London said the drop in power is affecting traffic lights, while many trains have been delayed.

Re: Major power outage hits the country
Reports are showing a dip in line frequency to below 49Hz. Unprecedented.
