Emergency services were called to London's Liverpool Street Station after reports of an explosion shortly before 9am. British Transport Police said the incident, reported at at 8.49am on the Metropolitan Line between Liverpool Street and Aldgate, was thought to have been caused by a collision between two trains, a power cut or a power cable exploding. A London Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: "We have just sent some resources out to the scene. We have sent a number of vehicles to Liverpool Street station." BTP confirmed that there are "walking wounded" and said paramedics have responded to one report of a person classed as "life at risk". "There are walking wounded, but that is as much as we know at the moment," said the spokesman. He confirmed that the incident took place on the Metropolitan Line between Aldgate and Liverpool Street and said the line has been evacuated. King's Cross, Liverpool Street and Aldgate stations have also been cleared. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cockney Cobbler Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 All the tubes stations have been closed though and they are stopping trains from arriving in to London which may just be to prevent overcrowding whilst they investigate.

"I saw lots of people running up a road and then saw the top of a bus destroyed," one eyewitness told Sky News. Sky News producer Bob Mills said he heard the loud explosion near Euston Station. The entire Tube network has been shut down following the blasts at Aldgate, Edgware Road, King's Cross, Old Street and Russell Square. It is understood several people have been wounded in the underground blasts, with one unconfirmed eyewitness telling Sky News he saw "bodies on the line". British Transport Police confirmed there are "walking wounded" and said paramedics have responded to one report of a person classed as "life at risk". "It's chaos, with people trying to work out what has happened," said a spokesman. Blast happened at Aldgate One witness said the packed underground train he was on was 200 metres from King's Cross when there was a huge flash. The train stopped and people were using umberellas to smash windows of the trains. Passengers were led out of the train by underground staff. He added people were milling around King's Cross covered in soot. Clare Benson, 33, a city banker from Kensington, was on a tube at Edware Road where the second incident took place. "I was in the last carriage at the back of the train nearest the tunnel when I heard a huge bang - you could feel it," she said. "The lights went off for a couple of minutes and people were scared and wondering what to do. "The drivers got out and were looking into the tunnel, then they announced that we should evacuate. My ears are still ringing and I was shaking." </div></BLOCKQUOTE> SKY NEWS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
