ABOUT 1,800 homes in Oxfordshire were without power this evening.
A fault with the high-voltage network at Yarnton has left homes and businesses in Bicester and Kidlington without electricity since about 4.30pm. Traffic lights are also affected, leading to congestion on some routes.
A spokesman for Southern Electric said the company hoped to return power to the area within an hour.
