Summary: 
Throughout the incident log it was clear that there was pressure to get the service back on as soon as possible. At 16.38 a decision was taken to turn the current back on, that request was just about to be actioned when it was realized that there were still staff on the track at Embankment. That lack of “command and control”, admitted to in the report’s findings, could have led to a disaster.
