Plaques were unveiled at the tube stations where the bombs exploded and memorial services were held at each scene to pay tribute to the lives lost
Police also revised the timings of the tube blasts: initial reports had indicated that they occurred over a period of almost half an hour
The Piccadilly Line is a deep tunnel, up to 30 m (100 ft) underground, with narrow (3.5 m, or 11 ft) single-track tubes and just 15 cm (6 in) clearances
and arrived at Euston bus station at 09:35 a.m., where crowds of people had been evacuated from the tube and were boarding buses
The bus then followed a diversion from its normal route because of road closures in the Kings Cross area (due to the earlier tube bombings)
Other commentators have suggested that the 'power surge' explanation was deliberately suggested by transport authorities in order to minimise commuter panic and enable the tube network to be cleared of passengers safely; indeed it was said over the bus radio network that passengers were to be told there was a tube power surge to calm them, when authorities knew the real cause

Wednesday, August 09, 2006 Northern Line predicted last night's delays Misery Line come over all Mystic Meg All right, all right, as so many of you are asking (well ), the Northern Line signal failures were actually predicted yesterday, so don't say you weren't warned!According to 'LU said the system breakdown at Clapham Common forced it to impose a limited service between Stockwell and Morden.It said maintenance contractor Tube Lines were working on the problem and passengers should avoid Stockwell station and use overground services instead .'But just in case you think their prediction of delays is a sign that they are getting their act together, fear not.In a figures which came out, 'Northern Line Tube passengers suffered an average of 15 delays every day in the year to May 2006, double almost every other line on the network
In the we learn that:The 'misery line' recorded more than 5, 000 delays between May 2005 and May 2006, confirming its status as the worst-performing line for the 100, 000 passengers who use the service daily .' Looking on the bright side a cheery spokeswoman from Tube Lines spun 'Whilst we acknowledge the need to improve performance faster on the Northern line, year-on-year service reliability has improved by 30 per cent and the number of incidents has dropped by 16 per cent since 2003 when Tube Lines took over , ' 'The Northern Line is the most heavily loaded line on the Underground in terms of passenger numbers and has some of the oldest assets but performance is getting better and we are committed to improving the performance of the line to the standards we have achieved on the Piccadilly and Jubilee lines .'Mmm try telling that to some people who had three hours of delays last night
