I saw this item on the Railway Eye blog.

I hope they post the reply.

It's impressive that they got things running again so quick, the damage looks a right old mess. A testiment to the enginners.

Essentially, the building that was hit was a substation, supplying power to equipment (and 3rd rail?) across a wide area including railway from Waterloo and Victoria (eastern). The temporary fix is to feed the power supply from the neighbouring substations to cover for the damaged one. The last I heard, it will take 4 months to repair the damage...

Let's just hope an adjacent substation isn't taken out in the meantime....

Wow that's quite some damage looking at the picture :blink: . I can remember the Traincrew accomodation block at Oxford being struck once whilst in the messroom and that knocked everything out for a good while
