Hi all, glad to hear everyone is ok. Shocking events but at the same time unsurprising, except maybe that (if this was Al-Qaeda as has been claimed) that they waited this long after September 11th? to all the other Londoners, both on here and out there, and lets hope that there aren't any more nasty surprises yet to come.

I work in Covent garden. quite close to russel square although I was already at work when it all happened . everything is very quiet here (10 people in the queue at M&S for lunch),I'm just wondering how I'll get home.

Thanks David, was going to ring you - and thanks to all London friends letting us know you are OK - I am so upset by this - WHY attack us these people really are evilOriginally Posted by DavidB
Brighton Station is closed and there was an explosion there this morning, but I think it was a controlled one, not a planted one.
Thank goodness my son wasn't in London today
ALL YOU LONDONERS PLEASE CHECK IN PLEASE

That date is recognized as her official birthday.
PeteK just PMd- he's fine.
Was walking away from Russell square, after getting off my bus, when i heard one of the bombs go off this morning. I did not realise how close I had been until I got to work.
The centre of town is eerily quite, normally we can hear traffic noise from our building, it is only sirens we can hear today. We have been told to stay in the building, and are not sure what is happening. There seems to be a lull in deveopments recently.
I hope everyone is ok.
News from Network Rail, is that all mainline stations, with the exception of Kings Cross and Liverpool Street, are OPEN, and will remain so unless security alerts dictate otherwise
Oh my god!!!! I hope everyone's ok! Glad so many people have let us know you're fine! Anyone heard from Feelingpink??
I'm so happy I changed my mind and didn't go to London this week as planned!!!!!!

Yes, I'm fine (my mum in Oz rang, watching events on TV there). Just reading this thread.Originally Posted by Little Monkey
Just got news from a friend - he was travelling into Kings Cross on the tube this morning. The train pulled into the deserted station with the tanoy repeating 'Evacuate the Station'. The doors stayed shut. The driver then came on to say he realised they could hear the tanoy but he was told to not move and not open the doors. They stayed like that for 20 mins. Ouch. Scary stuff when you have no clue whats happening.
When the passengers were let out to be greeted by chaos outside, he then heard the huge explosion from the bus at Russell Square.
Glad to hear you're fine!Originally Posted by Feelingpink
SKY NEWS: At least 45 people are reported to have been killed and 1,000 injured in a series of terror attacks on London.
That's similar to what I heard not so many minutes ago, but I've just heard that Waterloo is closed and will remain so for the rest of the day, I believe trains are only going as far as Clapham Junction. I'll keep checking travel details later on.**Originally Posted by Gojive
And my earlier report of 7 explosions seems now to be wrong, it is now reported as 3 explosions on the tubes, plus one on the bus.
But sadly I've just heard a report that the death toll may currently be 45.
One witness was not allowed on a bus as it was too full, she got on one just behind, only to see a few minutes later the bus she would have been on explode. Unbelievably another witness who was on the top deck of the bus that exploded, walked away from it with only minor injuries.
I'm sure that amidst the disaster, there will be many stories of courage and kindness to emerge, hopefully the better side of human nature...

** And just 10 minutes later I hear that nearly all mainline and surburban services should be running later. Still plenty of confusion...

Greg, I've just grabbed this from the South West Trains site...Originally Posted by Sheepman
"At the present moment our services are running and Waterloo station remains open. In addition, contrary to some reports, Clapham Junction station is open.
At this moment in time we would however advise passengers not to travel into London.
This page will be updated if the situation changes.
Information correct as at: 14.56"

Really glad to hear that everyone is ok This is all because of this stupid G8 summit, they shouldn't have publicised it so much, and waited till it was over. I think the whole world knew about it, and the fact that loads of police from London were taken up to it.
Again, really glad you are all ok.

Glad everyone is okay!
My friends and I are in office in Dundee and everyone says there thoughts are with everyone!
Huge Hugs
Cheeks and friends.
Gosh such to-ings and fro-ings!
I just thought I'd let you all know that I'm working from home for a few days!!
There's been a few people concerned, as there have been a few unconfirmed rumours, so I just thought I'd let every one know that I'm not there in any case
According to the BBC website, it's now "only" three bombs on tubes, and one bus.
Jayne and I are fine.
