Heathrow Airport has been forced to shut down for the entire day following a large fire at an electrical substation that supplies power to the airport.
Passengers are advised not to attempt to arrive for their scheduled flights as the airport continues to deal with a “significant power outage” caused by the blaze at the North Hyde Electricity Substation in Hayes, west London.
