well its all over the place - 3 tube stations, and now a bus. Reuters claim a nail bomb in a tube station. Seems to be one duff bomb at least on tube just the detonators went off. And explosion on a bus at hackney.
not looking too cool.

Re: New Attacks on Underground
There have been unconfirmed reports of an apparently minor explosion on the London Underground.
There are no reports of casualties.
A series of incidents have been reported near Warren Street, Oval and Shepherd's Bush stations on the London Underground.
The stations have been evacuated.
Train passenger Ivan McCracken told Sky News he spoke to an Italian man who witnessed an explosion.
"He told me he had seen a man carrying a rucksack which suddenly exploded. It was a minor explosion but enough to blow open his rucksack. Everyone rushed from the carriage. People evacuated very quickly. There was no panic.
"I didn't see anyone injured but there was shock and fright.
"There was a smell of smoke."
"The man who was holding the rucksack looked extremely dismayed.
Police have cordoned off the streets around Warren Street station. They said a suspect package had been reported on a Victoria Line train.
Sky reporter Mark White said authorities are "pushing everybody as far back from the station as they can".
It is two weeks to the day since bombers attacked three Tube trains and a bus in central London.
Another eyewitness, Sosiane Mohellavi, said "Everyone panicked and people were screaming.
"We had to pull the alarm. I am still shaking."

Re: New Attacks on Underground
Shit here I am posting about being worried about hitting a roo and there's been another round of bombings. Doh 
kind of puts our trivial worries into perspective. Reports live on channel 10 indicate just detonators have gone off on the tube and a nail bomb elsewhere.

Re: New Attacks on Underground
Apparently one injured at Warren Street at the mo. Usual info and misinfo at this stage unfortunately.
