Moments later? Meaning just a few seconds? No, it will in practice be
anything from 0 to 2 minutes, or longer if the service is disrupted,
which is not uncommon.


He also knows that as he's going up the elevator, a southbound
Picadilly Line train arrives at an upper level. He's not going by
any specific schedule. He's going by his EXPERIENCE with what
happens at King's Cross.

Clearly *you* don't have any relevant experience of how LU operates in
practice. Apart from the fact that you don't go *up* in a *lift*
(elevator) to the Piccadilly at King's Cross, the idea that a Piccadilly
train arrives at precisely the same time every day ("as he's going up
the elevator") is an absurd assumption.


This is the same guy who has repeatedly suggested that the bombs were
placed under seats. I wouldn't be surprised if he'd never been on an
Underground train in his life. In any case it's obvious he has no idea
what he's talking about.

I've ridden the London Underground many times, but the last time was
over 15 years ago. If you can't put bombs under seats, then where was
it? It had to be placed somewhere. It was NOT held by a suicide
bomber. Someone said there is a parcel bin near the door. If the seats
fold up when not in use, that doesn't prevent someone from putting a
bomb on the floor beneath it. It just means the bomb will be visible
(perhaps looking like a rolled up newspaper, a box or a paper bag) when
the seat is up, and the seat wouldn't be up for very long on a crowded
train.
