Lightning Strike

The other day there was some problem with the South West trains in London.

The announcement said, due to lightning strike there is no electricity hence South West trains from Waterloo are not running. Customer are requested to board the trains at Wimbledon or Richmond blah blah blah.

Knowing the reputation of London rail network, I was left wondering if the lightning strike meant that a natural disaster had occurred due to the rains, thunder and lightning lashing London that day or if there was a lightning strike by the rail workers that provide electricity to the tracks.

With London you never know, it could have very well meant the latter.
