Subway power outage disrupts several lines in Manhattan for 2nd time in a week
Subway service is disrupted in Manhattan after a power outage near the West 4th Street-Washington Square station, the MTA says. The station was hit with another outage earlier this week, leaving some riders stuck on board trains for roughly an hour. The MTA says B, D, F and M lines are disrupted Thursday as crews investigate the latest power loss. The same lines were impacted during Tuesday's outage, as well as the A, C and E. MTA New York City Transit President Demetrius Crichlow said the extreme heat may have been to blame for the earlier outage. "Heat will cause a strain on the system, and so now we go through our triage to find out what caused the dip in power or surge in power that caused that breaker to trip," he told CBS News New York's Elijah Westbrook on Tuesday. Crichlow said the MTA's capital plan will invest in improving substations. "The reality is a lot of our substations have gone a long time without being repaired, and the cables that tie to the substations, the same thing," he said. "This capital plan really does invest in better substations and then the tools that come along with having a new substation." At this point, there's no word on what caused this latest power outage. Check back soon for the latest updates on this developing story. CLICK HERE for the latest service changes.

No evidence of malign activity in UK travel disruption, says minister
A technical problem that affected over a hundred flights across UK airports on Wednesday was an isolated event with no evidence of malign activity, transport minister Heidi Alexander said, as airlines worked to clear the backlog on Thursday. National Air Traffic Services (NATS) restored its systems, with capacity returning to normal, late on Wednesday after switching to a back-up system following what it described as a radar-related failure. The second outage in recent years at NATS, which provides air traffic control services for planes in UK airspace and the eastern part of the North Atlantic, affected Heathrow and Gatwick airports in London, Edinburgh Airport, and other locations. On Thursday, NATS repeated its apology to those affected, and added that there was no evidence that the incident was cyber-related. 'I know that any disruption is frustrating for passengers. Flights are now resumed ... I will continue to receive regular updates,' Alexander wrote on social media platform X, following a meeting with NATS Chief Executive Martin Rolfe over the incident. Earlier on Thursday, Alexander said NATS was working closely with airlines and airports to clear the backlog. A total of 122 flights were cancelled as of 1830 GMT on Wednesday, with a further 23 cancelled as of 0730 GMT on Thursday, according to aviation analytics firm Cirium. At least 16 flights, including departures to Brussels and Toronto and arrivals from New York and Berlin, had been cancelled at Heathrow Airport, according to its website. The airport, Britain's largest and Europe's busiest, was hit by a fire at a power sub-station in March which stranded thousands of passengers. Ryanair Chief Operating Officer Neal McMahon called on NATS' Rolfe to resign, saying no lessons had been learnt since the August 2023 disruption caused by a malfunctioning in the automatic processing of flight plans.
