There will be One service outage to End-Users of approximately 360 minutes within this period. This outage will occur during the outage window of 00:00:01 - 07:00:00 within this PEW Window.

Apart from this one not being STEPNEY GREEN, I have this strange sense of déja vu... will it be another non-event, I wonder?

Perhaps they went to the wrong place last time.

Perhaps someone mis-threw the dart into the map on the wall.

I have tried and better tried to obtain a topology map for the BT network to try and understand these events better but alas there isn't one thats publicly accessible.

No disturbences here either.

I reckon they may re-schedule it for next week, what do you think?

I think it most likely that they did the work as scheduled in both cases, but gave a gloom-and-doom worst case warning to cover their backsides in case something went awry
