From the Stand-in
Storm Barra arrived in north and north-east Scotland well after dark, last night, on Tuesday 7th, damaging the power supply at some point that night and yet not fixed by 8 the following morning. What do we pay these people for?
For information, Northern Power has only just re-connected the last of homes affected by Storm Arwen after 12 days: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-59572300
SSEN finished reconnecting homes in Scotland on December 5th, 3 days ago: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-59538274

Get well soon John.
imho I can only speak for my immediate area but if power and rail coys could be a bit more proactive and cut down/lope trees that threaten power lines and rail tracks during the summer period we could possibly avoid this situation developing to the extent it did on this occasion.

Quick call in the army, and the Brigadier.
