More evacuations

[kid]

Totenham Court Road has just been evacuated. I know there are going to be lots of scares following the London bombings but DH has asked me to check if anything has happened. He seems to think something has.

[QueenOfQuotes]

the fool who did it is probably getting treatment in there [frown]

[Easy]

Hello Mrs Ramsay,

These men and their mobiles, they don't realise how we worry, do they?

[MrsGordonRamsay]

I will wring his bloody neck


Did your DH get the job offer ??

And what does he do ??

[Easy]

Job offer not formally made as of this morning, but looking V. Likely (see update to my chat this a.m.)

Dh is a software developer type.

They're saying 'dummy nail bombs' on BBC. Lovely.

Bus incident is virtually outside my brother's flat.

[kissalot]

What does 'dummy' nail bomb mean

[ScummyMummy]

Apparently means detonators with no explosive.

[Blu]

I'm away - we're being 'unofficially' evacuated. Police using our building - they say it's 'real' but not 'what', and that we should send people home.

Bye!

[ScummyMummy]

Bye darling. Take care.

[kissalot]

Who would have done this & why? Surely its taking a big risk of getting caught or traced back to them or something?

[Bellie]

wonder what this 'smell' the eyewitnesses keep talking about is??

[northerner]

Bye Blu. Safe trip home.

This is intriguing me. What on earth is going on?

[kissalot]

Feeling a bit freaked out DP is leaving work now as no tube and has no option to get bus. Are they still running Ok and what about overhead trains???

[HappyDaddy]

Two near misses in two weeks, for members of my family, is doing my nerves no good at all.

[spacedonkey]

Police are advising people to stay where they are. Some tube lines are still running and I think overland trains are running too

[foxinsocks]

they will be worried about chemicals (they have to check just in case)

[CountessDracula]

oh great

"Men in chemical protection suits have been seen appearing to enter the station, where British Transport Police say one person has been injured"

[spacedonkey]

just heard the Victoria Line is open again, so the incident at Warren St can't have been too bad

[foxinsocks]

I imagine it might have been one of their first thoughts (as you wouldn't necessarily need a big bomb to send out chemicals)

hopefully it's just some idiot copycats and not something more serious

[spacedonkey]

sorry, correction - victoria line open but only either side of warren street

[alicatsg]

Met is telling everyone to stay off public transport and stay in their offices till further notice.

[CountessDracula]

We have had a mail round from the City police saying there is a bus in Newgate St (Nr Barts Hospital) which is being treated in some suspicious way

[MrsDoolittle]

'some suspicious way'?

[HappyDaddy]

The police emailed you, CD?

[CountessDracula]

we get them in our office and they are fwded round the building

They have now shut the tube network
