Title: South West Trains hit by 'major power failure' on Friday 12 October 2012 Post by: Chris from Nailsea on October 13, 2012, 19:32:51 From the BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-19932800):
Quote Thousands of rail passengers had their journeys disrupted on Friday following a "major power failure" on South West Trains from London Waterloo. All services were affected after the "wide-spread loss of signalling across the network". For a time no trains were running between London Waterloo and Woking or Dorking. A spokesman for South West Trains said the issue was resolved by the close of service at about midnight. In a separate issue on Saturday morning some services to and from London Waterloo were being affected by an electrical supply problem to the level crossings between Barnes and Richmond. As a result, some services were being diverted or cancelled.
