Power cut

[tarafitness]

We're on Worlingham Rd near Goose Green... I'm assuming it's affecting more roads because of the house alarms I can hear going off.

Does anyone have any info? It didn't last as long last time...

[Jaws]

It's on oakhurst grove opposite my house - lots of police and fire engines. No idea what happened but there was some kind of explosion a little while ago.

I was affected earlier and again a couple minutes ago. I'm on Crystal Palace Road.

Same on Ivanhoe, twice around 30 secs each.

Same on ulverscroft road

I saw the second explosion - fireman just been telling residents that it's going to be a good few hours before they can attempt to fix the fault as they are waiting for a part/cable. Lots of people have no power or water on oakhurst.

[tarafitness]

We've been told it's due to water getting into underground cabling.

Power return ETA 21:30... Great!

[DulwichFox]

Mines back on Ulverscroft.

Just 2 1 minute outages..

Could be more..

Where was the explosion

[tarafitness]

Update at 19:56 - Our engineers have investigated the fault. They have found it to be more complicated than first expected. We need to send our specialist team to make repairs. Your power is off due to a fault with an underground cable. At this stage we're aiming to have your power on by 20:30. If this time should change, we'll let you know.

I hope it does come on in half an hour... My baby monitor video unit doesn't work without power.

Exosions were on oakhurst grove
