Fine. Train pulled half into Liverpool Street station then reversed back out again. I'd call that lucky. I've been in contact with bebbeson so he's fine too.

Anybody know if Cheapside in the City was effected by the blasts I am unable to make contact with my cousin Mrs Linda Palmer, Policy Executive at the London Chamber of Commerce International.

Phones are all down at the moment. I managed to speak to my brother at around 10.30 but nothing since.

Email/internet seems ok, but I would expect most workers aren't that keen to work at the moment.

Fingers crossed

Everything fine here. I've not heard anything about Cheapside. It mainly seems to be centered around Liverpool street (Moorgate, Old St, Aldgate) rather than that way.

Keep safe people.

paddington is running mainline services (i can see from my office window) so trains out of the city shouldn't be a problem for anyone concerned...

Probably be delays etc given the situation though...

EDIT UPDATE

Nothing moving now (13.30)

although i am informed that heathrow express and heathrow link sstill operating... not seen em though

Here!

Also, if anyone has to walk home due to tube/buses/trains not running, can they please try and stick to routes through parks or open areas.

I don't think the cts will have planned to blow up trees.

Be safe and vigilant guys.
