We had a very brief power outage this morning.
Shortly after we received a phone message on the landline, and I received a text message on my phone. Both from UK Power Networks.
Nice to see some automated reporting of outages.
The report said that overhead high voltage line repairs had caused the outage.
The one thing that puzzled me was the three post codes reported to be affected. Ours (obviously), one next to us, and the third one in the countryside on the other side of the next town over. 15-20 miles away.
This looks to be a more likely place for overhead line problems because AFAIK there aren't any in our immediate vicinity.
Is there a reasonable explanation for an outage in two locations so far apart without any other postcodes in between being affected?
Cheers
