Heh, it doesn't look that way to me, it looks like he's been picked to put a good face on it and give exactly the impression you have.reNnIe said:

Stupid bloody hacks, was it the Sun or the Mirror?
Some of these journalists ask the most stupid questions, like the one who asked "were there any children involved?" it's not as if they are going to say is it?

Royal Logistic Corps, army's transport/feeding/suply group, also has Bomb disposal (for IED) in the UK for historical reasons.William of Walworth said:Yes, I saw a later post saying it was Exhibition Road. Very close to us.
RLC???
He hasn't been convicted of anything yet, but he's in the process of extradition to the US. The evidence against him looks rather shaky, but that's another thread.Belushi said:

That's usual...they prefer to get ID off the bodies and inform relatives first....Vixen said:the number of deaths confirmed seems to have greatly increased.

It'l keep going up as they confirm deaths (it can't be easy estimating deaths from a bomb going off in an enclosed space like a bus), as people in critical condition slip away etc.
I guess that they cannot identify some of the bodies from the bus bomb - hardly surprising. The upstairs of a bus must hold about 30 people I think. They won't give out numbers until they have contacted the next of kin.

Viccy Station reopen, national rail services running, buses running with diversions around the crime scene areas.
Pretty good turnaround really I reckon.

That was unsurprisingly the Mail.

Hi all, is there anyone who can confirm that the tubes (central line in my case) are running again as the BBC travel site and the National Rail underground site are still listing "all stations closed and services suspended". Link to a decent transport site that actually gets updated would be useful.
Thanks to you all for keeping me updated throughout the day.

I wouldn't expect the Central to up until tomorrow at the earliest.Mitre10 said:

Mine too. I've been worried about her all day.
I called work this morning to see if everyone was ok and was told Kate hadn't turned up or called in. Was trying to call her mobile but just kept going to voicemail. She called me back a couple of hours ago so a great weight has been lifted.
Strange - my Reuters 'livemark' won't load. All my other news RSS feeds are fine though.

Latest from the TfL site:
16:11 Latest service information
* Docklands Light Railway has resumed but will not be stopping at Bank, Stratford and Canning Town.
* National Rail has resumed service but there is continued disruption.
* Bus services in Zone 1 are returning to service.
* London Underground will be closed for the rest of the day and will resume service tomorrow morning.

There will be no tube trains until tomorrow morning. Even then it will be limited as the sites of the bombs (eg Picadilly line) will be treated as 'scenes of crime'. The whole of the circle line will be out. It will be days perhaps weeks before a normal service will be provided.
