This from the PM's spokesman in today's Lobby...
"The clear view of the Government is that the lights are not going out.
"We are confident there are adequate supplies available. Power is not going to be rationed. Lights are not going to be turned off.
"The fundamental questions here are: are the lights going to go out? No.
"Will power be rationed? No."
What an excellent time to be embarking on a major programme of electrication, eh?
Reports of the demise of diesel trains appear somewhat exaggerated!
