Old St and Moorgate
What is the situation with these stations? The timeline shows a police report of explosions there but makes no further mention. There were also early reports of three bus explosions. The only one mentioned now is Tavistock.
- Read the Misplaced Pages page 7 July 2005 London bombings...
