After the US/Canadian blackout, we knew it could easily happen here. And now it has.
I was stuck on a tube just outside Tooting Broadway for well over an hour. Power came back after half an hour or so, but my train's radio didn't work, and it took a long time to confirm that it was safe to move.
It wasn't too bad - the emergency lights worked OK, and I had a seat and plenty to read. From Tooting, I walked. Via the Traf, naturally. ;-)
Update: It least I wasn't nearly killed.

If I'd been following my usual schedule I would probably have been stuck in a hideous melee at Victoria. Thank the lord for clients in unfashionable locations.

Anyway, I'm glad you missed it - I gather that Victoris was *particularly* hideous.

Its not as if I drink their coffee anyway ;-)
