Was it travelling towards Euston or towards Russell Square?

It was about two and a half blocks north of the Hotel Russell (or less
blocks on the other side of the road), ie about three fifths of the way
from Hotel Russell to Euston Road.

It must have been heading south from Euston and was directly outside
the window of the office I used to work in in the BMA building (rented
out to various).

Since the route 30 doesn't go there, I can only assume that it had been
diverted following the earlier incident at Kings Cross. This hasn't
been explained in any reports that I have seen.

It's explained in detail with maps by the BBC on their "In Depth" and
"In Detail" pages; the bus event is described at
