Sorry you're experiencing a power cut but that's pretty impressive communication from UK Power Networks. Hope their engineering is as good!

Power back on Bawdale road

It was a weird power cut - some lights and my radio stayed on, but dimmed as if on low power.

If some people did have a full power cut you may have had a consequent load reduction as a safety measure to avoid a circuit overload.

Possibly just low voltage. If you have energy bulbs fitted they may not function at low voltage.

My radio stayed on for 15 mins!
