Tube cleared after minor blasts

Last Updated: Thursday, 21 July, 2005, 12:49 GMT 13:49 UK

Dummy explosions using detonators only have sparked the evacuation of three Tube stations and the closure of three lines, a BBC correspondent has said.

Police cordoned off large areas around Warren Street, Oval and Shepherd's Bush Tube stations.

Emergency services also attended an incident on a route 26 bus in Hackney Road in Bethnal Green.

There were reports of smoke coming from two of the stations. There are no reports of any injuries.

The whole of the Northern Line has been suspended, along with the Victoria Line and the Hammersmith and City. Emergency services have been called to three Tube stations after "incidents", Scotland Yard said.

They are cordoning off the bottom of our road. All of the quad are safe.

Sometimes I think we get too much news, too fast.
