They are claiming 4 guys based on CCTV ... which is odd...why have 4
when you are going to do 3 bombs in the Underground? Why have a guy in the Underground who will be blowing up a bus later? |

Perry writes So why plan on the last bomb going off an hour after the first? The area would be cleared of people long before that. And why pick a bus that was heading in exactly the opposite direction? The No.30 bus was running from Marble Arch to Hackney Wick (not the other way round, as initially reported). It would therefore normally have gone directly from Euston to King's Cross. However, the police were directing all eastbound traffic away from King's Cross - hence the reason why the bus ended up at Tavistock Square. It has been suggested that the increasing agitation of the suspected bomber (reported by several people) was because either he knew the device was about to explode when he was nowhere near the target he intended (i.e. the rescue operation at KX). -- Paul Terry |

But there is plenty of space by doors where bags would likely not be noticed. Great! Thanks! I appreciate being corrected with a better idea. The space by the doors makes it EASIER for someone to place a bomb and then leave the train before the doors close. IME quite a lot of people prefer to congregate by the doors, on the basis that they believe they'll be able to get off quicker at their stop. Once the train has filled (which is generally the case by the time a westbound Picc line service gets to KX) anyone trying to use this area to place a bag or package will run the risk of being blocked by someone already there, and I think it would be difficult to do this in one move at one station. -- Dave Hillam "Then old Nobodaddy aloft, Farted & belchd & coughd And said: I love hanging & drawing & quartering Every bit as well as war & slaughtering" |

2005, Paul Terry remarked: The No.30 bus was running from Marble Arch to Hackney Wick (not the other way round, as initially reported). The "fog of war" seems to be alive and well... (Meanwhile, the BBC is now reporting that four suicide bombers have been identified). -- Roland Perry |

![]() I agree that it could be "anyone not just jihadists". That's what first intrigued me about all this. I saw TV reports which said that area of London has a large Muslim population. If true, that can be viewed in two ways: the culprit was a Muslim from the area OR the culprit knew the area had a large Muslim population and knew they would get the blame. The culprit or culprits may also have stalked (shadowed) individual Muslims known to ride a particular schedule. No doubt this bombing was rehearsed to the minute many times before it was implemented, why not include a desirable scapegoat. It all comes down to motive though. Who had the most to gain, or not lose? |

In article .com,
Peter Vos writes I saw a post saying the KX stop is the only stop on the Circle Line where trains in both directions are separated by an central island platform. This is wrong. Gloucester Road and South Kensington also meet this description. In addition, Edgware Road and Aldgate have two island platforms and Circle line trains use the outermost faces (usually but not required at the former, required at the latter). Outer Rail trains also have platforms on the right at Tower Hill and Mansion House. The question I have is how far would you have to travel in either direction from KX before the doors that open at KX would be used again? Edgware Road (see above) and Aldgate. Would you get as far as Edgware and Liverpool? No. Circle Line trains don't go to either. -- Clive D.W.
