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 have a friend who was on the north bound platform at Lv. St when the bomb
exploded and he says that it happened almost immediately after a southbound
train had left. He is adamant that the explosion was on that train. I have
pointed out that he only heard the bomb, not saw it, so it is possible that
it was on a northbound train yet to arrive at Lv. St. He still thinks that
could not be the case given the interval and the fact that my scenario would
likely have caused two trains to be involved.

Sorry, still not definitive but it's the best I can do. :-)
