He's near British Library and have just seen that they recommend King's Cross or St Pancras. Don't know which he would have done.

yoyo sure he will be ok {{{{{{{{{{ hugs }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

They don't seem to be panicking

They seem to have been covered in soot

Does his mobile work if underground?

Am now glued to BBC News 24, thanks everyone.

Dh would surely have been on that Liverpool St Station train if he were not on a business trip in Germany.

More incidents, apparently. So scary.

yoyo, he is probably stuck on a train that's not moving, with no signal - Liverpool Street-Euston is beyond Aldgate East.

I don't know RTKM. He's on a course so assuming he's allright he would have it switched off. Feel crap as he had a big argument with DD this morning too. Didn't say goodbye to her.

My dh just called to say he was on the next train 1 min after!!! He almost got on it but saw that another one that's better for him was coming along in 1 min...

Yoyo, judging by my dh's timekeeping I reckon your dh was behind the explosion and so is probably fine and stuck in a train waiting somewhere. My dh is usually at his desk by about 8.30 so would have been at Euston by about 8 or so.

He has just rung and is okay. Was totally unaware that anything had happened. What a relief.
