The sys­ tem would then be brought back to normal — an oper­ ation which would cause only a brief interruption of supply.

the area continued last Fri­ day. At 9-30 another fault affected Sawley, Grindle- ton, Bolton-by-Bowland and part of Slaidburn. Sup­ ply to the majority of users was restored by 11-15, but part of Sawley remained affected until 1-30 p.m.
