It might have been a 'glue' crate at the CC&M centre went down, so five or six incoming regions were dead on the router input.
So, they rerouted the nearest available regions to the affected destinations ?
I can't work out what could have caused that.

Possibly that would do it if the fault affected both centres.
Although there's no mention of when that happened, its obviously before 2013 as it's TV Centre, not Salford.... but if it was in the analogue days that wouldn't explain it, or it would only have happened on one platform, not the other

Yes, good point. I wonder if the missing sources were 'lost' in some virtual mapping, that controls both sites? Though if that happened, it doesn't say much for resilience!

There's a mind shredding replugging mentioned by Bill there as well.
The South West will receive the opts from the Channel Islands.
Given that it's usually the other way around (during Spotlight) where the CI's opt from Plymouth, having the 'satellite' providing the service to the much larger 'mothership' I can't help thinking that is more improvisation, rather than a nominated plan in case of meltdown.
