Apparently the 30 bus starts off at Euston and *normally* heads back to

of King's Cross as people are busy streaming out of the station. The
bus was diverted however and the bomb blew up on a side street.

*Apparently* the number 30 bus actually runs from Marble Arch to Hackney
Wick. It serves Euston - it does NOT start there.

If people are going to rampantly speculate on what happened at least get
the most basic of facts right.

I do find this constant theorising somewhat irritating and ultimately
unhelpful.

Can anyone explain to me why knowing will make the slightest difference
to any future journeys on the tube given that the police have
specifically ruled out any form of luggage inspection on the tube as
utterly impractical? What are people going to do - not travel in the
first coach of a Piccadilly line train if it is going to Russell
Square??
