Default Which way were the trains going?

The Transport for London website now has sets of 3 snapshot track
diagram pictures (for Press use) showing the locations of trains leading
up to both the Aldgate and Edgware Road explosions. In the latter case
it is clear that the bomb was on an Edgware Rd-Paddington Circle line
train (no 214) between Edgware Rd and Praed St Junction. When the bomb
went off it was passing a (stationary) eastbound train from Paddington
to Edgware Rd (presumably a District since there is no train ID no
shown). This was evidently waiting for a free platform at Edgware Rd.
There was an eastbound H&C at Edgware Rd, plus another train which had
been stationary at the south side of the eastbound island platform for
some time (probably a reversing District Line train). Only Circle line
trains have IDs showing, the others are all "000" but can be identified
from following through the picture sequence.

and accept the copyright T&Cs to find the pictures.


The diagram shows train 216. Did you mean 214? Also, which train was
bombed at Liverpool Street?
