East Midlands Control Centre (EMCC) down (11/03)

[londonmidland]

At present there is disruption across the whole of the East Midlands network caused by (a loss of power) at the East Midlands Control Centre.

It's reported that there has been a change of aspect in various areas and many trains are at a standstill.

It has affected the CIS along with many other things, as well as the signalling system.

Signalling was restored just over 10 minutes ago but investigation work continues.

What's happened to backup power supplies?

Not the first time this has happened to the theoretically uninterruptable signalling centre. There's been several cases of trains being stuck and in one case overnight with trains being abandoned where they were sat. Be interesting to see what caused this one!

Still nothing moving south of Leicester.

Kettering and Leicester workstations (Wellingborough/Nuneaton/Corby to Loughborough/Frisby) were the last ones to reset and may not have come back yet.

Just seen the signals go green so fingers crossed.

No EMT services leaving St Pancras at the moment. Just announced over the station PA a total loss of signalling between Bedford and Leicester.
