Also we've had a bus bomb on Tavistock Place. I heard a big bang about an
hour ago and the office shook - bomb is about a mile away so must have been
fairly big. I can see loads of helicopters out the window and hear sirens
everywhere.

In case you don't know, there have been about 5 or 6 bombs at various tube
stations and one on a bus at Russell Square. No public transport is running
in central London and no tubes at all.

There are no trains running to/from brighton station. It has been shut
down and the surrounding offices have been evacuated.
Tune in to BBC Southern counties radio, somewhere around 95-96fm. News
on it right now.

All the mobile networks have tirned off GPRS as well - I did hear it was becuase they thought the bombs were triggered by mobiles but thats just what I have heard.
Have seen an email from Vodafone though stating that all GPRS is turned off for now

I was texting a mate an hour ago and that was getting in fine, so either
they've turned it off since then or it is just certain nodes that are
shut down.

There was a leather 'briefcase sized' package in a phone box near
Grand Central pub. Bomb squad supervisors have arrived but a team from
portsmouth are on their way to perform a controlled explosion.

I'm also seeing odd things with text messages - certain words starred
out followed by *This has been removed* within incoming text messages.
Very sinister.

Just been out and about. The Police have cordoned off the station area
from the Battle of Trafalgar pub, the whole junction where the Evening
Star / traffic lights are, and down Trafalgar Road where the station
makes the bridge over the road. Between me crossing the traffic lights
area and getting back from the bakers they'd extended the area a bit and
are still extending it out towards Buckingham Road, so it might be
higher up than the Battle now (would have to be if there is something
outside Grand Central.)
There's quite a few photographers around, but not a lot else happening.
I'm not surprised it's a sus-package as I couldn't see them closing such
a big area unless they'd found something, whether inside the station or
outside.
I met a bloke who was trying to get to Seven Dials and he said the
insurance company he works for isn't doing cold-calls to companies
trying to sell insurance today as it could be seen as bad taste, so it's
nice to see some insurance companies have some sense. He couldn't make
any phone calls, but other people in the area had their phones to their
ears so I don't know if there's just too many people using them, or
whether some companies have shut down the local service.

Anyone got an update? Sam, are you being evacuated yet?
Reports of a "suspect package" in the phone box opposite Grand Central
on the BBC, apparently.

Just heard Charles Clarke's statement. He didn't mention how ID cards would help prevent this kind of incident, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time.
Nope no further news here... Just saw a meat wagon making it's way up
there on my way back from lunch. Phones still working, internet's flakey
(separate issue) but the big gates across Traf' Place have been shut
with guards on them checking vehicles entering/exiting etc and the
underground carpark is sealed... Brighton town is as ever, tourist hell
with nothing untoward...

They would have been hit by capacity problems anyway, but to prevent
underground bomb triggers would indicate an expected level of
intelligence from the usual suspects. I heard someone confirm they had
hit the emergency trigger which prioritises calls with an emergency
flag on their subscriber setup - a feature that has been around for
about 10 years but probably not used that often.
