EXPLOSION ON MET LINE AT LIVERPOOL STREET STATION

[RTKangaMummy]

HAS JUST HAPPENED AT 8.50

TRAVEL PROB

.

We have Nick Jr on - was furious though: ds1 found out whilst at pre-school this morning that there were "cannon-balls in London, and isn't that where Daddy is?". Just picked him up at midday after been trying for over an hour to get hold of dh, but no news. Thankfully returned home to find an email from dh. Not sure what I'm going to say to the head of preschool on Monday . I know most of the parents do work locally, but there was no way the childen should have been told.

{Hugs} to all those waiting for news. We're still waiting to get hold to my dad and my brother who are working on the Holloway Road, but they would have got to work before the incidents.

Canery Wharf has been evacuated?? is that confirmed??

just had a call from work colleague, problems getting into birmingham city centre, New st is being closed aswell (apparently- how true this is though i dont know). Have to be at work in town for 2pm.

hope someone is exagerating at work about New st etc as people often do during events like this.

Dh has a work colleague there and the shops have been told to evacuate.

TE - Poss true. I have seen an internal council email that states what they are doing (read taking it v v seriously) we are also on a direct train line into London!

Oh blimey it's awful

ds1 recognised a London bus on tv and I had to tell him it was dynamite, thank god we told him dh had gone to America and not London.

I must say the emergency services sound very cool and collected

where kid? canary wharf?

(in answer to PooPooGirl's question)

is that in brum?

yes.

really- best leave soon then to see how long it takes to get to work.

cp, bishopsgate bombing was a good few years ago. He's safe at home today,working from home.

I am just thankfull i have my baby with me today and DP is only down the road - were 2 hours form London i am so greatfull.

Have they had any ideas who the sick bastard that planted them is yet?

Just spoke to my gran they're all safe, they didn't go in then end my aunt has a cold. I'm so relieved.

Love and hugs to you all, especialy everyone still waiting for news
xxxx

rumours (no more than that..) of bomb on bus in Coventry and Swansea Uni campus has been evacuated...

Can I ask whether there is any reliable source - like a BBC or other serious report where it says they are concerned about this being phase 1? because if not, can we put a stop to it here? it is frightening people in London sick.

dizzymama, apparently bham new st is being closed and there is difficulty getting into bham on the buses. how true it is i dont know- about to find out.

Cat 82, I suppose a cold has never been more welcome. So pleased for you x

i've got BBC1 on & have heard nothing of any phases.

absolutely blu - can we keep peculation to a minumum plz? ta

my dad and bro are safe thank goodness. have friens at canary wharf though...

OMG, Dh is just down from Brum...off I go to phone him ....

One of the biggest dangers in the early stages of attacks like this is panic.

No one can confirm this is a stage one attack.

No one in authority in London has confirmed 20 dead - only unconfirmed reports of 2 fatalities.

stuff I've heard is on Radio 5 (who use Sky...)

I heard about the attack on the radio as I was driving home from town this morning. I had to stop and pull over because I couldnt see for tears.
My first thought was of all the lovely netters I have "met" since joining here, who are based in and around London.

I pray that you and your loved ones are safe and will be reunited with your families soon.

I just can not comprehend how any human being could want to destroy anothers life in such a way.

My thoughts are with you all.xxxxxx

speculation, sorry ds on lap
