'We're heading to a hotel - and a pub as well' 🍻🚄 Sky News speaks to passengers at London Kings Cross station who have faced delays and cancellations after a powercut hit parts of the UK. More on this story here:
One passenger, Scott McKenzie, said:"It was a bit worrying to start - more so because various alarms were going off and staff clearly didn't quite know what was going on either.
Western Power said 500,000 people were affected in its distribution area. They described it as a"major incident" and said all customers had power restored by 6pm. Engineers created a workaround which meant the majority of customers got power back quickly. The power was out between 4.53pm and 5.21pm.
