What’s happening in the United Kingdom?
A mere few hours after a fire broke out in a North London house belonging to Keir Starmer – an incident that has aroused strong suspicions of arson and is being investigated by Counterterrorism police – another fire sent the transportation system into chaos.
Many London Underground services have been suspended after a fire broke at an electrical substation on Monday afternoon, causing a partial blackout that affected its operations.
The Telegraph reported:
“The Elizabeth, Bakerloo, Jubilee and Northern lines, as well as the Overground’s Suffragette line, have all been affected.”

A faulty cable reportedly caused a fire at an electrical substation in Maida Vale, a London Fire Brigade spokesman said.
“It follows a previous fire at the same substation a few weeks ago, which saw elderly and vulnerable residents moved out of their homes.
The blip, or brief loss of power, caused vital systems to shut down. This included signaling-related systems used to control the trains, a source said.”

Power has been restored, but the work of resetting the systems will take some time.
“Hundreds of businesses south of Oxford Street were also reported to be affected, with power not set to be restored until after 6pm.”
