Updated: Explosions in London

[Elmo]

my cousin's bf was on one of the trains going to liverpool st, she hasnt heard anything from him yet, i'm crossing my fingers he's ok.

Not heard from my friends yet, but i'm assuming they werent on the tube and are in work with either their fones off or because of the phone networks being saturated.

Not heard from miggyman yet either....

I'm in Glasgow, and there's been a MASSIVE police presence here for the past few days, eventhough G8 is 200miles away, but i'm not going out today just incase, without sounding racist, we have a lot of afghan's living across the road (in excess of 400) so i dont really want to chance anything.

The Oranage network is down here in Fulham, guess everyone is trying to call people. Just saw two army helicopters fy over my house, guess someone important was in there.

BBC is now reporting that Swindon and Brighton railway stations have been evacuated after 'security incidents'

[Nick]

Police Spokesman: Too early to say if blasts are linked to terrorism.

[Elmo]

Atomic is right, the networks have been taken down deliberately incase they were being used to detonate bombs.

<edit> miggy's fine
