Bit suspect that a fire that clobbers a major part of UK infrastructure happens in the same week moves are being made to install European armed forces in Ukraine.
Obviously speculation I know yadda yadda... |  | | |

Begs the question how a fire at one sub station can close Heathrow. Why no back up. |  | | |

There is not yet any indication of foul play but the CT police have been brought in just to check as they have a more thorough approach.

I guess we're now living in an era where anything like this has to now be treated as suspicious. |  | | |

No, that would be just silly.
More like we lose the whole training ground as there was Palidiniesqe paperwork filed on completion...  | |

Back up supply affected by the fire too...
But as we said at work, you would think another sub could have kicked in |  | | |

I'm leaning towards a lack of maintenance and overloaded substation, although I also read somewhere that Heathrow removed its diesel backup generators recently as a part of the move to net zero. |  | | |

Nah, fair play to 'em, they ordered some Duracell batteries from Amazon but some towrag nicked the parcel from outside. |  | | |

Still got back up generators and a UPS system which kicked in as designed, unfortunately they are only designed to keep life safety systems going.
The real question should be why hasn’t Heathrow got a dual power supply fed from different sub stations that automatically switches over in the event of failure. | | | |

They do but the 500 metre extension cord that runs across the M4 got cut. |  |
