BBC Radio 4 has just reported incidents at Oval, Warren Street and
Shepherds Bush (not sure which line). There was mention of smoke coming
from a train, and that University College Hospital had been placed on
alert. BBC Online says that 3 stations have been evacuated.

R5 mentioned a bus too, plus Reuters reporting a nail bomb at Warren

Conflicting report - "dummy explosions - detonators only" - just now on
R5 - no one injured.

Simon Lane ) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were
saying :

Conflicting report - "dummy explosions - detonators only" - just now on
R5 - no one injured.

Add a bus in Hackney to the list, too - but it looks intact from the shot
that's apparently of the bus in question.

LU's done a "Code Amber" and turfed everybody off everything.

Sensible precaution?
Bit jumpy?
