they were saying :

Your suggestion for getting home would be what exactly?


I think that at the moment, it would just be to wait.


That's *exactly* what the Met commissioner is saying. Sit still.

Edgware Road (which one not stated).


From the pics just on News 24, it's not the circle line one, it's the other

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

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

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.

If you are desparate, is there any chance of getting a taxi? I can't
think of anything else. Don't they have some kind of disaster plan for
this situation?

Channel 4 News has just said some (at least) taxis have been
commandeered to ferry injured people to hospital.

Yes there is a plan it involves getting the injured and dying to
hospital, people are trapped at Kings X, try to get a taxi but don't
hold your breath if I were a Taxi driver I would be locking the doors
and trying to get out of the city, you don't know who is sitting behind you.

Stay where you are.
