[QUOTE]Originally posted by tricky: [QB] The train bombs were on the trains, they went off inside the tunnels. I can't imagine of anthing much more scary, especially on the deep level picadilly line. I just don't want to think about it. The bomb that went of near Edgware road station apparently managed to damage 2 nearby trains as well as the train the bomb was on. The double decker bus bomb blew apart the top deck, the picture on the BBC show bits of the sides of the top deck, the roof and most of the seats missing (top deck is lightweight, a routemaster can tilt at something like 35% before it will fall over, even with a full load up top). One (for want of a better word) fortunate thing there was the bus exploded next to the British Medical Association, so there were a lot of doctors on hand. They've estimated 33 people have died on the tube, but can't estimate how many died on the bus, which worries me. The inital reports of a power surge was caused by the safteies cutting power, so showing a large reductions in power used at control stations Some of the mainline overground stations are reopening, but no tube for the rest of the day. After they have inspected all of the tube trains plus all of the stations, they hope to open the lines which wern't damaged tomorrow. The lines that were damaged they hope to do shuttle services in the unaffected sections. Dockland Light railway has reopened. [/QB][/QUOTE]
