Chaos

The soundtrack to this morning is of frenetic emergency sirens.

London is in chaos. People are dead. More explosions are being reported at tube stations and on the buses. My colleague James came in this morning – he walked all the way from Euston. As he was leaving the station, there was an explosion behind him.

The only warning I had this morning was when I got to Kings Cross station, and couldn’t get on the tube. Or the buses. They were too full. I ended up having to walk the two miles to work, with one shoe on, because the other one broke. I spent the 40 minute walk composing an amusing post in my head, but suddenly I don’t really feel like writing it.

There are no tubes. There are no buses. They’ve all been suspended.

None of us know how we’re going to get home. Although to be honest, even if they were running, I’m not sure we’d be rushing to travel on public transport today.

This is all very, very bizarre.
