BUT be aware that some things may be closed,roads may be needed to

Imagine those poor people Landing at Heathrow Airport after Flying to
the UK overnight and they have no clue what has happened.
All thet want to do is get to their London Hotel to get some sleep.
they have to go through Immagration/customs at LHR,then they find out
busses/tube are not running
If the roads going into london are bumper to bumper.a taxi ride would
cost WAY too much.

The TfL web site reports it as on route 30 while a BBC report said it was
a 205. Do either of those routes pass along Woburn Place?

No (unless there was a diversion in operation).

Woburn Place routes are the four services that run down through Aldwych:
59, 91, 68 and 168.

The Heathrow Express is running a normal service from Heathrow to
Paddington, and buses are running in west London so it is possible to
take a short bus ride from Heathrow to Feltham and then get South West
Trains to Waterloo (another service which is also running). Obviously,
some people will be inconvenienced by the lack of a Piccadilly service,
but there ARE alternatives (including taxis - the M4 has not been much
busier than usual).

Perhaps they'd like to use a bus or train that may have a bomb on it, due to
not being cleared by the police.

If people want to get somewhere safely, they can damn well wait.

Anyway, things are slowly starting up again, mate who works in London has
just text me to say he's got back home ok.

This won't do a lot for my fear of travelling on the underground.
Someone has said the bus that was bombed was in fact a no.13 from
Marble Arch to Hackney. Is this correct?

I think it was number 30 from Hackney to Marble Arch: "most of the right
facts but not necessarily in the right order"


Ahhh....

(13 does pass Marble Arch tube though)

Good to know you are okay, Kat.

Indeed. What of our other friends from LUL - could you post a
reassurance that you're okay, too, please!

Yes I'm in one piece and back at home. A very strange day in the office
as events unravelled. The mood reminded me of the day after the Kings
Cross fire back in 1987.

There's not a lot else to say that isn't on the news. Very eerie in
Central London early afternoon with many shops closed and large volumes
of people walking to get about. Front line operational colleagues who
helped with the evacuation looked like they'd had a tough time. There's
a lot of work needed to get things back to normal so perhaps we could
exercise a bit of common sense in how people comment? - don't expect a
normal service to run immediately no matter how heroic people's efforts
will be to get things running again.

I headed off via Bloomsbury and Islington to get home. Bus services were
starting by the time I got to the Angel as 38s headed into town. I
picked up a 56 at Balls Pond Road and got home from there.

WRONG

*if* the Heathrow Express was working then this is the most expensive
railway journey in the UK (or possibly the world) on a cost per mile
basis.

For 3 or more people it is actually cheaper to take a taxi.

The Stagecoach website is now confirming that it was a bus on their
route 30. This would normally travel south down Gower Street, not Woburn
Place, so I presume a diversion must have been in operation. Small
comfort, but at least this meant that the explosion occurred outside the
BMA, where a team of doctors were able to provide immediate assistance.
