I fervently hope it was not bombs.
But, with it being rush hour, you just never know...
Like I said, I heard an explosion - I am five minutes from Russell Square (and often take the bus that way).
re: Who's saying it was bombs?
"Eyewitness Paul Woloszyn from BBC News, who was at Blackhorse Road station on the Victoria Line, said: "We were told there was a bomb at Liverpool Street station.

Another eyewitness, Dorothy Molloy, had been on a Tube train at King's Cross and said "staff just chucked everyone out of the station".
She said staff there had not given any details, but she said two passengers she had spoken to had said they had received messages saying there had been bombs."
