Two confusing points
1. What time did the Edgware Road bomb go off? The BBC (Mark Urban on Newsnight) just said it was 8:53, not 9:17 as their website is saying. This is obviously rather strange, particularly so as I remember that was the time it was originally said to have gone off. Update: The reports are now that all bombs went off at the same time (on the tubes). The Police's explanation for the 27 min error is not very convincing, being that they had emergency calls at 9:17 so thought that was when it happened. That no-one phoned the Police for 27 mins is so absurd that can't be what they mean, but I have no idea what they do.2. Was the exploded bus going from Hackney to Marble Arch or from Marble Arch to Hackney? Everyone (probably from the same information) says the former, but most of the evidence points to the latter.
