@DarkOverord I've been to the substation...my weird claim to fame

@Chaft @DarkOverord My understanding is that LHR's MV ring is fed from more than just North Hyde s/s, tho?

@tryst @Chaft "Heathrow does in fact have more than one source of electricity, however, as one National Grid insider told the BBC, but the fire that broke out damaged a 'particularly important bit'." apparently

@DarkOverord @Chaft Something like this happened when I was at Fort Halstead. Turned out that the DNO had not been maintaining (and had in fact partially removed some of) the equipment needed to swithc sources for the ring main, despite us paying them for a high-availability supply.

@tryst @DarkOverord @Chaft Sounds an awful lot like "We didn't expect that it would ever happen so we didn't bother providing the service you paid extra for"
