Reporting in

Because they weren't letting people down to the platform at Home Tube Station - flooding on Northern Line according to the noticeboard, only infrequent Charing X trains, so presumably platforms overcrowded - caught bus instead. Lots of turmoil all morning along Euston Road, especially as we are adjacent to UCH A&E Dept.
brisingamen is collating reports here, [ETA] see also london_070705 for ongoing updates on the situation.

Home again

Once it was okay to leave the building, management announced that those of us for whom it was feasible should go home (and that they would lay on food, etc, for anyone who couldn't get home) and remain there until after the weekend. So I walked out into a nice sunny afternoon to join the crowds teeming northwards* - and by the time I got to the vicinity of Camden Town Tube Station, there were buses. Also, lots of people getting on any bus and then asking where it was going. But I managed to get one that was heading to Kentish Town, making an executive decision that a relatively empty bus going partway in the hand was better than a potential, and probably chokka, bus going the whole way. And walked the rest.

*No way could their demeanour be described as 'fear, terror and panic'. British phlegm to the fore, and anyone who lives in London for long enough is going to be a veteran of public transport hiatuses.
