What I remember was the help from Northern and Scottish electricity board crews who travelled right down South to help with the recovery. So far, I haven't heard of anything similar happening now, or am I mistaken?

There were crews form several different utility areas so yes they had been drafted in. Its clear a huge amount of clearing tree debris needed clearing which is very time consuming but requires doing before power lines can be reinstated.
