I have added Talk:2005 London bombing/MissingInfo for people to list bits that have been lost in the course of ongoing edits so they can be added back later if required. SimonLyall 7 July 2005 12:29 (UTC)

Intro/grammar
It is grammatically incorrect to start any sentence with a numerical number. Therefore:
Wrong - "52 other people were killed and around 700 were injured."
Right - "Fifty two other people were killed and around 700 were injured."
I cannot do it myself because of a page lock.. Besides the whole paragraph should be rewritten the more I think about it.
"The explosions appear to have been caused by home-made organic peroxide-based devices, packed into rucksacks and detonated by the bombers themselves, all four of whom died. 52 other people were killed and around 700 were injured."
How can they "appear to have been"? That's ambiguous nonsense? The bombers were either using organic peroxide or not. Were they using peroxide bombs as found from the forensic evidence? If they were, then state it because it was not another kind of device. Furthermore this entire sentence is over packed with too many clauses and facts. It reads like a grammatical-overstuffed mouth. Good writing keeps it clear and simple. This rewrite would be better:
"All four bombers died when they detonated home-made bombs concealed in their rucksacks using explosives created from organic peroxides. In total 52 people were killed and around 700 more were injured in the four blasts."
Let's try to par with 9/11

Oppose. As per Teyandee, 9/11 is a redirect to the fuller name, but we should also be so conceited to assume that the events of the day are so universally known that we don't need the year and location. Nick Cooper (talk) 22:52, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Piccadilly Carriage number
This article says "311", which is what BBC say, but TFL say "331", claiming that "311 was at South Kensington" that morning. Then Channel 4 says "346". What do we use? It's clearly recognised that tfl are the head of london transport! Spa-Franks (talk) 08:00, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
There is a difference between train numbers, and car ("carriage" is not used on the Underground) numbers. The train number was initially reported as 311, but TfL later corrected it to 331. The car affected was 166, but some sources - including C4 - erroneously identified it as "346D" which was impossible on several levels. Nick Cooper (talk) 09:35, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
