London bombings - TV news coverage

The Police are saying there are power surges but the National Grid has denied that there has been anything. I've got a feeling this isn't a power surge...

I've seen two reports of an explosion on a bus at Russell Square, one from a Sky News producer. Explain how a power surge can affect a bus...

ITV1 and ITVNC now simulcasting with Steve Scott.

News 24 have someone getting shoved into an orange suit. Russel Square I think she said, I'm not familiar with London so I don't know if that's significant.

Christian Woolmer seems to be saying pretty much the same thing, and now Sky are quoting union sources as well.

Will be some very interesting political repercussions if this is a total cover up...

Sky now asking for people's images by email

If this is a terrorist attack, and that is looking highly likely, then it may be an agreed procedure to state initially that the system is being closed down due to power problems so that people evacuate the system in a controlled manner and do not panic.

Bit early for the conspiracy theories. The cause of an incident is often unclear in the first few hours

John Nicolson now also on ITV1 with Steve Scott and Andrea Catherwood.

Nothing on the other analogue channels yet.

BBC ONE had a news report at 1000.

No doubt trying to think of ways of organising a strike?

So when did ITV1 leave normal programming, was it at the adverts?

Normal programming suspended on BBC ONE, N24 simulcast.
