Default Which way were the trains going?

As far as I can tell from the reports, the explosions were on a
westbound train between Edgware Road and Paddington, a southbound train
between King's Cross and Russell Square, and a train between Liverpool
Street and Aldgate. The direction of travel of the last train is
unclear.


I've just seen a personal account of the last one and the train was
travelling from Liverpool Street toward Aldgate. Unusually the passengers
were evacuated forwards (past the bomb site) to Aldgate, rather than
backwards to Liverpool Street. This might have led to people assuming that
the trains was travelling from Aldgate to Liverpool Street.
