A power outage has left about a thousand homes and businesses in a city centre without lights.
Some of the properties in the Deansgate area of Manchester have had their power restored overnight following the blackout on Wednesday night, but Electricity North West said hundreds still remained in the dark.
Engineers expect to restore power to about 320 homes by midday, but they are still investigating another cut affecting more than 100 properties.
Manchester city centre councillor Pat Karney said on X he wanted to meet power company bosses as this was the second incident in three weeks.
