What happens to stranded train passengers?
Unforeseen Circumstances for Train Passengers
Recently, while on a journey from Liverpool Street to Ely, the train I was aboard experienced a loss of power. This was due to a fallen tree that had taken down the power lines at Stansted Mountfitchet. Luckily, the train stopped near the station platform at Sawbridgeworth, allowing passengers to disembark safely.
My concern lies with the passengers on other trains along the same line, as the power outage persisted throughout the night. What measures are taken for stranded passengers in such situations? How do authorities ensure their safety and comfort?
If you have ever been in a similar predicament, I would appreciate hearing about your experience and any insights you may have on the matter.

During a recent journey from Liverpool Street to Ely, my train unexpectedly lost power due to a fallen tree damaging the power lines at Stansted Mountfitchet. Luckily, our train managed to stop at Sawbridgeworth station, allowing passengers to safely disembark. However, I couldn’t help but wonder about the fate of travelers on other trains along the same line, especially since the power outage persisted throughout the night.
What protocol is followed for stranded passengers in such situations? Are they evacuated from the trains in any specific manner? Has anyone else found themselves in a similar predicament before?
