I'm barely inside London, near Esher, so I'm not worried about me, but my husband is in Wimbledon and they're saying the trains are stopping service... I'm so scared.

I got up and turned on the T.V. and saw the news from London - I am so sorry that you all are going through this. These attacks are such an outrage! My prayers are with you.

miranoron, I think Wimbledon will remain unaffected. The trains are stopped, however I haven't heard that South West Trains have stopped, cos they run in and out of Waterloo Although due to all the madness, there's bound to be some disruption. Me and Mine are fine, was very chilling to hear it come over the radio and know that it wasn't just a "power surge"

Such sad news. Thinking of you and yours. We skate right along thinking all is well and something like this happens to remind us that world is not the same. New and horrible thing to worry about now. The terrorist win if they immobilize us. And we won't let them win. Cindi

Pah! We'll always have feet, or a bicycle! Or a horse! No-one gets us that easy!

Did you hear, cos there was no transport, people were walking TO work... Who walks TO work! Walk home I say! Free day off!

I heard they closed Waterloo, then opened it, and closed it again. I don't think Wimbledon will get bombed (though who knows, maybe the terrorists hate tennis!) and I'm sure he'll probably get home tonight, but I can't help but worry. It just feels like 9/11 all over again.

Now it's sunk in a little bit, it sounds like they were trying to cause disruption, which they certainly have. But if they wanted to kill lots of people, why not just bomb trafalgar square yesterday!? I think it's mainly political, but of course innocents are always caught up in it.. There's also the possibility that they wanted to lure Tony Blair away form the G8...

Well, you HAVE to know that these people were attempting to upset the G8 Summit. Creeps. I hate terrorists. Why don't they just get jobs and be normal humans like the rest of the world instead of making a career out of hatred?? It certainly is a different world we live in.

Our red, white and blue hearts go out to our friends in the UK!! We love you guys!! Let's hope together we can stomp out terrorism once and for all!!
