Important note:

Data from Thursday's monitoring was lost due to a system error at our data hub caused by a third party system fault. The system has been recovered and results for Thursday / Friday are being combined in the blog based on Friday's data. If Thursday's data is recovered at a later stage, the blog will be updated but given the extent of the damage, that is unlikely. Given the nature of the changes, the exact date of change isn't critical.
