ELECTRICITY INTERRUPTION IN AREAS OF METRO
Last night, a high-voltage transformer at the Mount Road substation blew up, causing extensive damage to equipment and the substation itself. Unfortunately, the electricity supply to a number of areas in the Metro has been affected, including North End from Kempston Road, Central, the Russell Road area, Perridgevale, up to Greenacres, Sydenham and Holland Park.
Mill Park and the areas of the Mill Park side of Russel Road/Cape Road will not be affected.
Municipal crews are hard at work to repair the damage and the power supply will be re-established later today.
