    Assuming it's power surges, it's a good job it didn't happen before the olympic vote.

    The conspiracy theorist in me reckons a French person is behind it

    Don't know how a power surge would have blown up a Double Decker bus...

    It is not possible, unless the bus was hooked up to the power lines... THe bus ive just seen now has the top ripped off.

    It is an odd situation
    I doubt this is to do with the Olympics.

    We only found out about that yesterday, and an attack like this (if its by terrorists) takes many months or years of planning

    Have you seen the state of the bus on SkyNews?
    It has been ripped wide open.
    It's horrific.
    This is sick.

    EDIT It also seems a few stations are closing because of suspect packages.

    Lots of police and other services around the station. Don't know the connection yet but obviously Swindon has direct link to Paddington. We are looking out the window, and keeping an eye on BBC.co.uk for London news...

    Some sort of package on a train. May have come from London?


    As for London, bodies everywhere around bombed bus.

    yes. People are saying there are bodies under sheets around the bus. Not suprising if a suicide bomber was on there.

    Weird. My mobile lost its network and I was wondering why, but now they are saying mbls could have been used to detonate bombs and they may be shutting down networks so if you are Voda phone check your phones.

    It could also be the fact that everyone tries to call someone else.
    Networks jam up.
    Happens New Years Eve too.
    But I heard that mobiles can detonate bombs too.
    Always thought it was far fetched myself, maybe not.

    Yeah, that could cause a lot of hassle

    I've heard a lot of talk that mybe the terrorist's objective was to cripple cripple London's transport system rather then hurt people
