There seems to be some confusion as to which direction the three trains
were travelling in. The police chief in this morning's press conference
has just said that the first bomb was in a train travelling from
Aldgate to Liverpool Street, but others have been reporting that the
train was travelling in the opposite direction? I would have thought
that knowing the direction of the trains was crucial - you want to be
looking at the correct CCTV pictures on the platforms!

It surprises me that a clearer picture hasn't yet emerged. The reports
initially said that the bomb was on a Metropolitan line train, then later
some said a Circle line train. Initial reports said between Aldgate and
Liverpool Street, later between Aldgate East and Liverpool Street, yet they
still kept showing images of the outside of Aldgate station. This morning
they are still referring to both the Metropolitan line and the Circle line
(depending on whose report you read) yet nearly all are now referring to
Aldgate East, which neither the Metropolitan nor the Circle serve! Initial
confusion is understandable in the circumstances - but you would have
expected that by now the news services would have ensured that the
information that they are giving out is correct.
