A fire at an electricity substation closes Europe's busiest airport for a day.... what does this tell us about the UK's infrastructure resilience?

The clear & straightforward answer is the lack of redundancy in key service provision.

Time was when systems would have back-up in place for emergencies, but once this started to be treated as a cost rather than a necessary investment in service continuity out the 'spare' capacity went!

One more cost of financialised management!
