Storyline: A power outage struck the London Underground, causing widespread travel disruptions across the capital on Monday afternoon, Transport for London (TfL) confirmed. TfL said the issues had been caused by a short power outage which happened at about 14:30 local time, leaving some passengers potentially stranded in train carriages within tunnels. Power has since been restored, but delays and suspensions in major lines are ongoing, according to TfL. By Monday evening, services on the London Underground began to gradually resume following the incident. The UK National Grid attributed the disruption to a "cable fault" on the transmission network in central London. The disruption marks another instance of the UK's transportation infrastructure facing challenges. In late March, London's Heathrow Airport grappled with a closure due to a power outage, resulting in the cancellation of numerous flights and leaving over 200,000 passengers stranded.
