There are no alternatives, do not travel, there are no busses, tube and
the mainline trains are stopping short of the city.

Considering there are no zone one buses and major road closures the journey
planners and maps aren't going to really help. Having a single low-bandwidth
page makes sense with the number of hits they are going to be getting.

NLL is still running just went to the station, the busses are also running
here at Finchley Road.

I was on the Met this morning getting out of Finchley Road at 8.40, must
have been the train after the one. Does anyone know where the train was
coming from ?

Regards

Your suggestion for getting home would be what exactly?

There are no alternatives. Get your head round it.

There will be later, but for now, a Journey Planner is no use
whatsoever.

This all looks now more like terrorism


I'm afraid it certainly looks like that. The BBC are reporting "quite a
large number of casualties" at Aldgate.


The Metropolitan Police Commissioner has just listed Aldgate East (and
not Aldgate) as one of the stations affected. The others, if I heard
correctly, are Kings Cross, Liverpool Street, Moorgate and Edgware Road
(which one not stated).

Could you get you head around the fact there is more to life than zone
1 in London or are you saying transport in the whole of Greater London
and the South East has come to a standstill. A little OTT I think.

Ok as I mentioned NLL is running, does anyone know if Silverlink to Watford
is running or Thameslink ?
