Good News, we have locatd Dereck (Tania's Uncle), he is somewhere near the london Bridge station. All the trains stopped, they were not told what was wrong he has not been able to get a line out of where he is, but we were able to call him. I have told him that we called his wife and that we will call her back if he cannot get through. He missed his first train and had to wait 20 minutes for the next one. He says that he is glad that it has happened (missed train) but sad at the loss of life and destruction. He is now standing at a cafe watching everything unfold around him live on TV. He said it is so surreal, so peaceful and quiet except for the howl of sirens. He has 14km to walk to get out of the city and back home, public transport is not working and the roads are clogged, no taxis. People are just milling around outside. just glad he is alive and still kicking. While writing this my wife has just contacted her Aunt and passed on the good news. Mate it is interesting that the local services are strained but international lines are available. Don't know why but is just seems that way?
