I heard this from a friend working in the city:
Quote:

"[nearly 4pm] Rail services out of London are starting back up (with the exception of Kings Cross). Traction current to the Underground is intact and could theoretically (apparently) now run a full service again, but it's not going to until investigations have got out of the way. The Docklands Light Rail is back up with a few stations not calling at. Bus is the way home for many people. Other than those immediately affected, it's proved that the contingency plans have been highly effective, and that the transport system itself has proved highly resilient, barely losing the mid-section of a working day. Apparently, being mid-week, the hospitals were well within capacity too.

I think London and the people of London should be proud of their calm, steadfast and pragmatic response to real crisis, and for getting things working again so quickly after a coordinated attempt to disrupt.
