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.

Mrs D???

[MrsDoolittle]

Without Bush

[Kayleigh]

GNER services out of Moorgate suspended. That's how I get home Hope they start back up shortly.

black or asian male 6ft 2in wearing a blue top with a hole at the top with wires coming out of it!!!! Adviced people to dial 999 if anyone see's him!

[tarantula]

Whew thank the gods for that HD what we would do without the US eh

[MrsDoolittle]

Sorry hercules not you hunkermunker!

[QueenOfQuotes]

black or asian???

One or the other - how can they mistake the two?

[hercules]

Could have been wearing a cap? Dh often got mistaken to be black when wearing a cap.

[Easy]

fairly distinctive, a top with wires poking out of it !!

I wonder whether he looked dismayed cos he was told it was a suicide bomb ?

[hunkermunker]

Ah, I see - twas Hercules said that, MrsD!

Agree totally though!

[RTKangaMummy]

3 armed police entered UCH

[MrsDoolittle]

Now I'm confused, I thought the man with the exploding rucksack was injured and dismayed. What about the man with the wires disappearing into UCH to get treatment?

[spacedonkey]

6 foot 2 inch suspect seen running through UCH wearing a rucksack with wires protruding according to Sky

[dyzzidi]

I suppose they may have conflicting eyewitnesses, which may explain black/asian description.

[RTKangaMummy]

UCH IS shut off with no one allowed in or out

[PiccadillyCircus]

Just phoned my sister (had forgotten she works either in or very near UCH) to discover they were evacuated a while ago and she is home now.

Glad about that .

Now when should I leave I wonder? Both DH and I in London today and need to get trains from Kings Cross (I am in Baker Street, he is in Kentish Town and DS is 45 miles away).

[HappyDaddy]

I'm just glad that my SIL is ok. I haven't the stomach for a debate about Blair or Bush at the moment, I'm afraid.

[Kayleigh]

PiccadillyCircus, I have same problem. No trains going from Moorgate so I need to get to Kings X too.

[RTKangaMummy]

someone has run into UCH from warren street




according to BBC TV

[dyzzidi]

I hope the police get the guy rather than a 'mob' they may tear him apart and we will never know on whose behalf he was acting.

[MascaraOHara]

I've just heard that it could have been worse as only the detenators went off or something?!?! sorry don't know how bombs work

[PiccadillyCircus]

You're in the City aren't you?

After my 4 mile hike to Finsbury Park two weeks ago I'd rather not do anything like that again (plus I am two weeks more pregnant now).

DH says I should get a taxi. It's my last day at work before maternity leave which is good - but I think I will make a very low key exit .

[PiccadillyCircus]

That was to Kayleigh by the way - forgot about other people posting in the middle.

[RTKangaMummy]

[Kayleigh]
