The significant incident was an IRA bomb left in a litter bin on the
concourse of Victoria station in 1991 that killed a man and injured 38
others. There was also a bomb at London Bridge station in 1992 that
injured 29 people, though I don't know where it was placed.

The Victoria bomb was the one I was recalling. So I should have said
"early 90s". My point remains that there hasn't been any noticeable change
due to Lardy Binman and his followers.


I'd also like to chip in with the fact that there have been bombs placed in
bins elsewhere in the country over the last 30 years or more, it isn't just
a London issue, so the frequency of incidents in London isn't necessarily
the only deciding factor. Down my way the stations with permanently manned
platforms seem to have no bins, most others have the clear bags. The
implication appears to be that the staff of certain large sized or higher
profile stations should be dealing with rubbish as it appears, I also
believe it isn't at the whim of the local TOC, some flavour of security
people decide.
