Most of the Security has been at Gleneagles and Edinburgh. It would seem an ideal time for a Terrorist attack. I don't think the Olympic announcement would have had any significance. As to the soot, the tunnels, especially the older ones are covered in it. Some of the lines used steam engines in the early days. Any explosion is going to dislodge it.

they seem to think the major incident was not at tavistock/russell sq but in fact Kings cross. Been mentioned that trains have collided at Kings cross. Bus have not been suspended in central London as well as tube. the series of explosions lead them to believe that as they all happened together it is too mch of a coincidence to not be human activity. the fact that the incidents happened above and below ground, at the same time, at a time to cause most disruption, leads them to believe this.

Lisa, I couldn't agree with you more. Sitting here crying my eyes out and wondering how so called human beings can carry out such callous acts. As well as the Olympics could be because we are hosting G8. Jean x.

The thing is the officials can never see it coming. They were probably caught off their guard by all the excitement yesterday. I hope all our London friends and families are ok xx
