Travelled through London today, coming back from the Hampton Court flower show. The tubes and overheads were all subject to delay (at least the ones I used) due to 'security alerts'. But got there and back in the end.

Lots of extra police around the stations, all wearing those bright neon yellow vests, so very visibly visible, don't think they always used to wear them.

Less people milling about and a hushed vibe, but other than that business as usual. If not a little friendlier. Got chatting to a couple visiting from Boston and another from S.Africa, all extolling the virtues of London, but shocked that they hadn't been asked to have their bags checked by any security people.

I didn't really feel any more apprehensive than normal whilst standing in a London station, I was brought up in the 70's expecting the bins to bang at any moment.

But was hurtling along on the tube, and one of those flashes occurred, like they often do, very bright sparks coming off the tracks and lit up the side of the window where I was leaning my head, and it gave me a real jolt.

There are apparently bodies in the tunnel, as structurally it is unsafe to remove them, or get close enough to them yet. There families must be out of their minds with worry.
