London and South East, which had been putting out their pan-regional bulletin from Tunbridge Wells earlier, broadcast BBC South's bulletin in sound only (over a Breakfast title card). The bulletin went out correctly with pictures in the South. Not seen Southampton used as the sustaining feed for a while (and in a way, I still haven't!)
This has always happened in the event that BBC London News suffers staff shortages (particularly when presenters get told all of a sudden to self-isolate). It annoys me every time this happens, as I usually have it on BBC One London most of the time…
It seems they have reverted back to a south east led bulletin covering London- we had this for a while last year for lunchtimes. In one way in terms of business resilience it makes sense to have a backup.
