Shutting down the TfL website is really helpful in planning alternative
routes and journies.


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.

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

It could be that the site is overloaded, rather than a deliberate decision
to close it down.

Neillw001 ) gurgled happily, sounding much like
they were saying :

The bus explosion was on one of the tourist buses.


Yes, they've been saying that. But.

News 24 have just shown a bus round there, with the sides sticking out at
45deg and no top - and it was definitely bright red, looked like one of the
current-style dubbledekkers, not a touron bus.

I dont know what the problem is anymore. It has to be our complacency and we
never ever learn. **** these terorrists and the scum they cohabit with.
Theres some very serious flaws in the mentality we adopt when confronted
with this ****. Can we not get ****ing angry ? Who is dealing with these
animals anyway ? Ask anyone who has lost someone in a bomb attack what we
should do. Thats where the truth is, with the victims. Lighten up and get
them out. **** them and if you are wondering what my motive is, I cannot
stand hypocricy and complacency. Simple as that.

Of course there is anger, to be perpetrated against those that funded,
planned and executed it.

Who are 'them' that you want to get out. I'd rather they were brought to
justice.

justice is not the issue here there is a wider picture but i see what you
mean. "It is very much like criminology, in which we have majors and
degrees. ... Terrorism, like criminology, has to do with sociology,
psychology, geography, theology. We have to approach it in several different
directions."how do you propose to abolish terrorism when you set up a whole
global industry linked to it? Presumably, the day they find a cure for
terrorism these guys all lose their jobs. And the terrorism money-mill
stops turning.
Obviously the terrorists are not the only ones with a vested interest in
terrorism.

This won't do a lot for my fear of travelling on the underground.
Someone has said the bus that was bombed was in fact a no.13 from
Marble Arch to Hackney. Is this correct?
