There seems to be some confusion as to which direction the three trains
were travelling in.

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.

Indeed. Even at the time, i found the incredible variation in stories
quite comical - there was a point where BBC were broadcasting Charles
Clarke speaking in Parliament, and he said that there were four bombs;
they then cut back to Huw Edwards in the studio, who proceeded to tell us
there were seven! The discordance between what the newsreaders were saying
and the map they had was also rather confusing; they were showing incident
marks at Old Street and Bank to begin with (anyone know why?), then
ditched them but put one in at Moorgate, then eventually got rid of that.

A colleague of mine said she was in the train just ahead of the one which
was blown up at Edgware Road; she would have been on the H&C heading east.
She might be mistaken, though. I got the definite impression the
Piccadilly train was heading south. There was an eyewitness account from a
guy who was on the Aldgate train; he said he'd got on at Liverpool Street
to go to Tower Hill, which would make it an outer rail Circle.
