Underground in London suffers from power outages and delay during the afternoon peak hour – my country

Multiple lines on London underground The Transport Authority in the British capital said that the network was suspended or disabled on Monday due to the power outage.

Transport for London showed that at least three subway lines were suspended due to power outages, and there were severe delays and partial suspension on at least six other lines during the peak hour on Monday afternoon.

The Transport Authority said it is working with the national network to determine the cause of power outages.

“Because of the brief power of the power source to our network, several power lines have lost a short time earlier this afternoon,” Claire Man, TFL Executive Director of TFL, said in a statement.

“We are working to raise the entire network and run it again as soon as possible,” she added.

The National Network said that there is a “mistake” on the transmission network in central London and that “it was solved within seconds.”

Earlier, a transportation spokesman told the Palestinian Authority that there was a reduction in southern London “for a minute”, causing the subway network to be disrupted.

British media reported that many stations in central London were completely closed.

Last month, the power outage caused by a fire in a western London power station was forced to close the Heathrow Airport for about a day, disrupting thousands of flights.

The government ordered the investigation of “energy flexibility” in the country after the fire, which raised concerns about the United Kingdom’s ability to withstand disaster or attacks on critical infrastructure.
