Large numbers of casualties have been reported after at least six explosions on the Underground network and a double-decker bus in London. all London Underground services have been suspended indefinitely and bus services in central London (Zone One) have been halted. A spokesman for Vodafone said emergency services were being given priority access to the mobile phone network which was causing problems for other users. One caller to BBC Five said his friend had seen "the bus ripped open like a can of sardines and bodies everywhere". Loyita Worley, who works for a City law firm, said she was on the underground train when an explosion took place in the next carriage, while it was in a tunnel. The 49-year-old said: "All the lights went out and the train came to an immediate halt. There was smoke everywhere and everyone was coughing and choking, but remained calm. We couldn't open the doors." Once the doors were opened they were taken along to Liverpool Street station.She said the carriage where an explosion happened was "black on the inside" she saw people who appeared to have their clothes blown off, and she saw bodies lying inside the carriage. And the Press Association quoted union officials as saying sources had told them there had been at least one explosive device on the Underground.
Its sad when such things happen and innocent lives are lost just because some deranged people want to prove a point.Lots of Londoners use the tube network and I just hope that among the dead we dont have a Malawian,no disrespect to other nationalities but it will really be very sad and painful to have a Malawian among the fatalities.My the souls of those that have lost their lives rest in peace and for those who have been injured in this,may the good lord heal them and protect them.

Only cowards do the things that these people have done. What they hope to achieve only they know especially when it's innocent people that die and get hurt.
I.ve got a lot of family staying in London but i've been unable to get through to them up to now coz of the high number of people also trying to get through. so i'm just keeping ma fingers crossed.

It's all coming in. And it's sad I crossed Kings Cross 30 minuites before the explosion as I do every morning to work. What is even more shocking is that I've been going in early to take have an early day on Friday. There are some casualities there too.
As horrific as it may be I won't call it cowardly, just callous.
Thanks Lady B and all those that prayed for us. The hurricane hit land yesterday afternoon but it never caused damage as expected. We are alive and kicking.
