It doesn't sound so major. The NYC subway had a far worse incident a few months ago. Appearantly some homeless man started a fire that took out two subway lines for the next few years. Hurrah for Homeland Security!

Incidents at Liverpool Street also. All underground stopped; everyone evacuated from every train and station in the network.

This isn't random.

They're saying it's power surges that caused explosions.

I don't think the Beeb wants to be the first to say "terrorists"

A BUS HAS EXPLOEDED IN CENTRAL LONDON.

It's terrorists.

Edit: Russel square, if that makes sense. Top deck of double decker gone.

'Cabinet updated'.

Blair to comment shortly, apparently

If it's terrorism, it's either Al Qaeda attacking for usual Al Qaeda reasons, or it's some crazy Frenchmen attacking because of the 2012 Olympics. OK, strike the 2nd one, someone might think I'm serious.

al qaeda attacking b/c of 2012 olympics suits quite well. I reckon if Paris won, it would've been there.

TGWU (the union that represents bus drivers) officials have said they've been told that there's been explosions on three buses or explosive devices found on three buses.
No one seems to know what's going on
