BT say (https://www.bt.com/broadband/digital-voice):
Keeping connected during a power cut
If there’s a power cut or your broadband fails, you’ll be unable to make any calls using Digital Voice, including 999 calls. You’ll still be able to use a mobile phone, just make sure you keep it charged at all times. If you don’t have a mobile phone or are in an area with no mobile signal, please contact us on 0800 800 150.
Customers who need extra support may be offered a battery backup unit to make sure you can still make calls. The unit will keep you connected for a short time if there is a power cut. We advise that you limit your usage to essential calls only to preserve battery life during any outage. If you believe you will need a battery backup unit, please contact us.
The battery option perhaps suggests that the road furniture will keep running. I doubt it would have a special mains supply (that would mean miles of dedicated LV cable), but it might perhaps have in-built UPS or draw power by copper cables from the main exchange.
