Complete Prague Metro system halted for 40 minutes

Prague's Metro was brought to a halt for around 40 minutes on Saturday afternoon due to a power blackout. Trains on all three lines stopped running at 5:15 when the whole Metro power system cut out, in what has been described as the longest halt of its kind in memory. Escalators were still running, allowing passengers to exit stations. Operators are investigating what caused the outage.
