Hi debs,
I agree...this should not distract someone from their daily life...however, there is also a very old saying to ' err on the side of caution '...two attacks on London transportation in as little as two weeks would not keep me from using it but would keep me from allowing my children to use it.
Eg ;)
Hi Debs,
Thanks for the concern. Hope all is well with your daughter also.
Spyder................Detininators, when they go off, cause an explosion.
It appears, they may not have activated the main charge this time round.....................Reports are saying forensic evedence is available. This would look like a bodged job.
Nihil,
Virgin have a direct service from Newcastle.................I'm hopeing to get her home that way. The time she leaves is the problem, it is quite late and I do not want her stranded over night.
Hi,
It seems the Detanators Couldn't Fire the Actual Explosives

London attackers 'meant to kill'
The people behind the latest attacks in London meant to kill, the head of the Metropolitan Police has said.
But Sir Ian Blair said evidence left at the scenes could be very helpful to police and added "the intention of the terrorists has failed".
Attempts were made to set off explosives at four locations, including three Tube stations and on one bus.
Sir Ian said the ambulance service had not taken anyone to hospital after the blasts, which were almost simultaneous.
Mayor Ken Livingstone praised the emergency services and said the people of London would "get through this".
'Unexploded' devices
Sir Ian said there was a "resonance" with the bomb attacks which killed 56 people two weeks ago, but that it was too early to draw any conclusions about whether they were linked.
HAVE YOUR SAY
The streets are all taped off and there are police everywhere

Police forensic experts are examining the scenes, at Tube stations in Oval, Warren Street and Shepherd's Bush, and on a bus in Shoreditch, east London.
He said important information could be recovered. "From what I understand, some of the devices remain unexploded," he said.
The Met commissioner warned against "smearing" any particular community with the blame for Thursday's attacks.
"These are criminal acts and we are in pursuit of a set of criminals," he said.
'Difficult day'
He said it had been "another difficult day" for Londoners, but that the city was already "back to business".
Ken Livingstone said: "It is not surprising that we have had another attempt to take life rapidly after the first attacks.
"Those people whose memories stretch back to the 70s, 80s and 90s will remember there were horrifying bombing campaigns in London. We got through that and we'll get through this."
Mr Livingstone backed a police appeal for information on who may have been behind the attacks.
He said religious leaders should remind their congregations of the immorality of what had happened and that people should come forward even if the was only "a remote possibility" that they could help catch those to blame.

I presume you already have this:

I would work on arrival time at Southampton, and that tells you when she has to leave. There are other ways to get to Southampton...Birmingham for example..............about six hour's journey, but she would have to leave quite early. Otherwise, so long as she is not in London before 7.30 (19.30Hrs), she should be OK............if you look at the track records, the bombings are at peak periods.
Hope that helps
Scarry i didn't think that they would hit the same place twice.
Hope they don't have any more of these things planned.
Okay, lol.. chill Melissa.. I didn't know. The Fox news I was watching said there were small explosions. That was confirmed by your own article.. I didn't know the cause of it was detonators though. Sorry..Quote:
"So you know"...they were detonators, as jinxy indicated. The BBC and all other news sources have reported (that I've heard) the same information.
As I have learned. My apologies guys..Quote:

I knew that I'd phrased that badly. Couldn't seem to get the words to come out right today. No, my child wouldn't be anywhere near London's transport. I meant that they were finding alternate routes to carry on with their lives. It seemed like here, after 9/11, there were a great number of people who wanted to go down the rabbit hole, in a manner of speaking.Quote:
