beyond boring and interesting
I've just had a shit nightmare of a journey in - somebody just rung in on their mobile to say the whole tube network is down.
edited to add:
I heard it was a power fault, and this is what the BBC London home page has it down as.

I just can't believe it's just a power surge. Power suges do not cause explosions lik this, according to my neighbour who works on the tube. It's all tied in with the G8, the fact that we have the world leaders here, the olympics etc etc,
This was always going to happen it was a matter of not if but when. Every cop in London knows this.

Eh
I work by Oxford Circus and heard nothing...strange that the Victoria line was workign fine at 8.45 - but the escalators were out at Oxford Circus due to "power problems". Sounds like a massive power surge and some transforners blowing..they make a huge noise when they go.

We've got Sky News on in our office and they are reporting it as a massive power surge, which has caused explosions at Aldgate East, Kings Cross, Edgware Road and Old St. The whole network has been closed down, but they haven't reported any serious injuries (although people have been seen leaving the stations covered in blood).
I really hope that this isn't a cover up for something more sinister, although if it was a power surge it raises yet more questions about the state of the tube network.
Here's hoping everyone involved is ok and the situation is resolved quickly and effectively.

Nothing about what might have caused it on GU yet, but a 'series of explosions.'
Fuck.

I would doubt that a massive power surge would cause problems at "selected" stations like this all across the city. It would require far too much power and wouldn't just affect the underground. Whole swathes of the city would be blacked out as well.
