We still can't get through to the police station, I suppose if they need him they will call. The army is on the streets now so they will provide lots of support. What a fucking awful day.

Apparently all bus services and tram services in central Manchester have been suspended.
Overreacting, non?
Not really no. Merely sensible.
Transport links are being targeted, thus shut down all transport. If they didn't and there was a bomb there...
Tell the jobsworth cunt to go fuck himself.
actually, it's probably a very safe decision (tho he sounds to have announced it in a highly cuntish way). Bombs are going off on transport, not in offices, so stay in the fucking offices.
police say 6 blasts - bbc

Has there been any word on how long the phone network will be down for? Kind of worried about various peeps & not being able to get hold of them is just making it worse. :(
As long as the situtation requires probably. At least not till around early evening I'd guess?
Live Blair statement at noon. Shit.
Prepare for the full use of the powers under the Terrorism Act.
My wifes in central London but she got into work before it kicked off :) Though how the whole of London is going to get home on foot is anyones guess.
Told to stay in offices in Victoria St. Sirens galore. Shit.
I don't have a choice! I have to get a visa by 5.30 this evening.

Today is not a normal day John. There may not even be staff there, the office may be closed. try ringing them on a landline if you can

As I said before Newcastle Underground suspended and local Metro Radio reckons there are numerous police vehicles at a site by the Tyne Bridge and Sage building

Eme's having to walk from Hammersmith to Brixton after they evacuated her office.
I read that as 'Brighton' for a moment, because of other posts :eek:
Stig may have to walk from North Acton to wherever she can get a train to South London ... not til after 5 o clock though.
(she may be able to get a network train from Wileesden Junction to Clapham Junction via Olympia)
I wonder how long tio will take for at least parts of the thansport network to get back on track?
I take it buses are running normally outside zone 1?
i don't rate your chances :(
I'm sure I'll be fine if I cycle. (always said it was the best way to get around London!)

I've been so worried about you guys ever since I heard this. Fucking awful :mad:
gd bless u and stay safe :(
Innit get yourself home, walk and let us know when you get back. Don't go to work!! Be Safe.
Oh trust me, I'm not going to work!
I am not sure if I am safer here or walking... there are some police outside so I'm going to ask them for advice.

John X -- you may be able to get a bus to the Elephant, if what people say about buses still running normally outside Zone 1 are right.
Then walk to the visa office. Or taxi??
Best phone their landline first, to make sure there is someone there who can help when you arrive.

Not only that but I shouldn't be at all surprised if flights are suspended.
All I can say is my sympathy to anyone caught up in this directly or indirectly. The best advise I can offer is if you are not in direct danger stay put, do not try to get home, do not try to get into London, avoid using phones apart from emergencies as all unnecessary movement will only make an extremely difficult situation (with an undermanned force) even more difficult, may expose you to follow up attacks and use of phones may clog the net. Wait until the situation has calmed down, even if that means kipping on the office floor and then make your way home preferably by foot. Keep safe people.
Shall we have a headcount thread so everyone can confirm they're ok?

Prolly staying where you are is best.....even if it's central london - most of the chaos seems to be in tubes or on buses, innit...

A few weeks ago i was on a train going to london and two people left a phone under a jumper and then walked out of the carriage, and then the phone rang...we got up and left because we thought it might be a bomb...trial run maybe? :mad: :mad: :mad:

The whole tube network is closed mate, it's likely that the rest of Euston is too.

Hear hear. Much easier to run a properly organised "sweep" of transport if it's stationary.
Not only that but I shouldn't be at all surprised if flights are suspended.
i'm due to fly to scotland tomorrow. wouldn't be surprised if flights are cancelled...

Intresting Edware Rd was selected, opposite Paddington Green nick, where terrorist suspects are interogated. Also Liverpool st, which serves Londons financial district.
Up until the bus explosions, it was still being claimed it was a 'power surge', a cover story obviously invented not to cause panic. Radio 2 were still claiming this at 11am.
Controlled exposions gives the impression it wasnt suicide bombers.

Already spoken to them. It's all good. Will cycle up there in the next hour.
And as William has already said "Will people stop posting up unsupported speculation and rumours" It only worries people unnecessarily.

Just heard from a mate working round the corner from me nr Liverpool St that mounted police are clearing people from the streets. :eek:

Earlier speculation sounded as if the BBC was saying a device was found -- which suggests found before going off, and rendered safe/defused, to me.
Think before panicing people.
Euston train station though?
Yes, there were events near/in it - of course it'll be closed.

Unlikely, relying on getting signal is a very careless way to set off a bomb, however the timer function is tried and tested. Still, you might want to give a statement at some point, just in case.

Yes. Euston is shut. I came into London, got as far as wembley. A few trains came north before they stopped them completely. No more now.

Yes. Government Telephone Network is dropping the odd call...

Two of our closest friends in London are a tube driver and a police officer - not the greatest of jobs to have today... :( :( :(
I feel so fucking useless, sitting here 8 miles away doing nothing. I know everyone's saying stay at home but is there any way any of us can actually help? Take blankets down, whatever? Probably just being stupid but I'm a Londoner and I want to do something.
it certainly appears as though it was organised ...
I'm just hoping there as few casualties as possible.

I cycled right through east London this morning almost entirely oblivious to the shit that was happening - until I reached Aldgate and noticed the abnormally large numbers of pedestrians on the street.
Found out what was happening when I tuned my radio to listen to John Gaunt.

When that gerbil in their large mutant head turns that wheel what do they think 'I know Ill throw a pie in a politicians face and that will change their thinking...no wait even better ill kill a bunch of innocent people and then they will change everything, yay'. Stupid fuckers all it does is tighten the politicians resolve in their own mutated beliefs and makes the politicians tighten up on security, freedom of speech and your own civil rights. Terrorists, protesters and activists go and fuck yourselves. You make me feel ashamed to call myself British. if you want to do some good, go to Africa and help with the UN aid.

Radio 4 just asked a 'excurity consultant'
'do you think this the hallmark of a terrorist attack?'
!!! What on earth do they think it might be??
They claim not to be confirming it so people won't panic! What do they think people are thinking?? that it was a power surge? We have been expecting an attack for long enough after all.
Are people panicking? I don't have a tv but the radio reports suggest that people are coping.

Very unlikely that this could have been implemented in less than 24 hours. Even the IRA would have been hard pushed to do that!
Much more likely that it was planned to coincide with the first day of the G8 meeting.

What the fuck does this have to do with the explosions?
Save your rants for another thread please!
Phew, I just got into work, the bus drivers were told to abandon their busses in the middle of the street leaving people stranded around cannon street station, nobody knew what was going on, we all crammed into the nearest MacDonald's :eek: to watch the news on their plasma screens. All the phone networks went down and are still down, we tried to share taxis to get out of London but there were none. I managed to walk to work (about 1/2 hr walk) watching ambulances and police cars carrying armed police whiz past me. As I got into work they changed our security status from green to red alert as a bus had exploded just up the road.
I walked into the office and everyone was crammed around TV's watching the news, we did a head count as many of our staff come into kings cross station, thankfully everyone is accounted for. Many people have opted to stay at home..wise decision.
That's it from me form now..still a bit shaken but feeling better.
But has anyone confirmed this device went off???

To counter the general mood, large Museums in South Kensington are open completely normally.
Small number of visitors at the moment, though.
I know SW7 is a long way from most of the reported incidents, but I do think there's a danger of saying EVERYTHING is in chaos, when to me the picture seems a bit more varied than that.

I think we can fully expect this to be blamed on Al Qaida. No matter who is actually responsible, they will make the most reliable scapegoat.
How can whoever did this direct the attacks toward civilians, especially considering the recent scale of protest against all things bad in the World? Not wanting to speculate at all but it certainly makes me think...

How can whoever did this direct the attacks toward civilians, especially considering the recent scale of protest against all things bad in the World? Not wanting to speculate at all but it certainly makes me think...
No matter that Al Q doesn't even fucking well exist :rolleyes: :mad:
I feel so fucking useless, sitting here 8 miles away doing nothing. I know everyone's saying stay at home but is there any way any of us can actually help? Take blankets down, whatever? Probably just being stupid but I'm a Londoner and I want to do something.
I know what you mean -- I live very centrally (by Piccadilly) and can do fuck all. Not even give blood. An hour ago I think every other vehicle was either a cop car or ambulance...
To get back on topic, a girl in my office was on one of the buses and was injured, she’s at UCH and someone from the office is going to see her now. Another co-worker was with her and we don’t know about her yet.

2 deaths at Aldgate - Reuters
LONDON (Reuters) - A series of explosions ripped through London's underground rail system on Thursday morning, killing several people, in what appeared to be co-ordinated attacks to coincide with the start of a G8 summit in Scotland.
Blasts were also reported on buses. Eyewitnesses said the top was ripped off a double-decker bus near Russell Square close to King's Cross train terminal.

Not even pretending, just hitting the news sites and U75.me too :(
Fuck me, this is quite awful. No response from some mates either.
Fucking hell. Been trying to get hold of some friends who work in the Russell Square/Liverpool St areas. Just got a mail back from someone who works in Tavistock Square and takes the bus into work - he's not in work today and is fine, thank God.
Just said how relieved I was about that to the woman who sits across from me at work but said I was still worried about other friends I haven't got hold of yet. She's just said to me "Can you not look on the bright side for once? Why do you always have to turn everything into a crisis?" :eek:
And when I said "Can you not understand how fucking worried I am", she said "Don't you swear at me, things like this happen to people all the time!"
Can't look at her and am practically in tears.

BBC articles (as opposed to the ticker) are usually pretty bad at keeping up with events - I think the TV/radio news is going to be the best source.
Emergency Services and all those involved in the emergency seem to be doing a great job.
Well done to those
Totally agree, absolute professionalism being displayed by all involved.

Channel five reports 5 explosions on tube, only 1 on bus.

Just been looking at C5 pictures of bus, I would hazard a guess and say it was not a large explosive. I'm comparing with Israeli buses hit by bomb, and the metal has not been splintered.
Scotland Yard say 7.
'almost certainly Al Quaida'
Hmm, let's see what Blair has to say now..
