Kings Cross station closed after major power outage Train operator LNER is advising passengers not to travel tonight
About 500,000 people were affected in Western Power Distribution's area - including 44,500 customers in Wales - with power restored to them all shortly after 18:00 BST, the company said.
In a statement, National Grid said:"Even though these events are outside of our control, we have plans in place to respond and the system operated as planned by disconnecting an isolated portion of electricity demand." It was important that passengers listened to travel advice from National Rail Enquiries and Network Rail, it said, adding:"For your own safety, do not leave train services not at stations."
