British Transport Police are advising people to make their way to a mainline train station and leave London.

Don't wanna jinx this or anything,

but what if thats what has been planned for?

The terrorists may have something set up for mainiline?

[Dakaras]

BBC says arab sources say the work is almost certainly that of Al Kieda

[Firebar]

Apparently a station in Brighton has closed due to a "security incident".

[Dakaras]

2 dead at Aldagate East confirmed

[Elmo]

Dougal, i suspect they'll have searched mainline stations already.

whoever's behind this thought of escape routes already, hence the bus explosions outside euston UG station.

[ikonia]

arab sources suggest this is highly probable the work of alquida

Met Police Commissioner:

Six sites of explosions, including one on a bus confirmed.

People to stay where they are, be it home work, or whatever.

WIll soon be issusing a phone number for relatives to contact.

Not aware of any warning but concerned that this is a co-ordinated attack with one site showing evidence of explosives.

Well rehearsed co-ordinated plan is in effect and working effectively.

Too early to speculate, but probably is a terrorist attack.

Situation coming under control.

[DR]

Everything is being shut down.

Reports is London is seriously closed down - no taxis, trains or public transport

They are also closing most of the UK stations down - entire network and slowly re-open when they know more.

This is not confirmed 100%.

the people on the DD bus were forced away from the underground as it was too busy... so maybe the intention was not for the bus, but more on the underground, Its horrible, totally horrible.

Tony Blair is releasing at statement at 12 on the attacks.

[DR]

Swindon is still closed.

Eye Witness:

Told to get off at Kings Cross because of Tube problems, was walking towards bus when the back of it 'just exploded'. Many people walking past or near bus hurt. People climbing down from the bus after explosion.

Just got an email from vodafone to our work:

Please note that due to the events in London this morning, Vodafone and other mobile providers are clearing their networks for use by the emergency services.

You may therefore experience difficulties in dialling to and from mobiles in the South East of England

[Nick]

2 confirmed deaths at Aldgate. Reports of many more but as yet unconfirmed.
