Shame they couldn't run the evening services to Gordon Hill and turn round there - isn't it possible to isolate the power N of that?
Whilst I understand the enthusiasm for electrification, compared to diesel - or steam, it can be a massive single point of failure - as it was here.
Thousands of commuters, many of whom would normally travel to stations between Bowes Park and Gordon Hill, were stuck because of a tree on the line near Bayford (I believe).
If Gordon Hill is designed as a turn around station, which it is, why isn't there OHL isolation nearby so that services to there and back could have continued to run.
The lengths of OHL 'single point of failure' should be constrained by more frequent isolation points.
