London bombings, by numbers

100 - faith or race hate incidents since the London bombings last Thursday.

"Since last Thursday there have been things like criminal damage, some minor assaults, abuse in the streets and email abuse. We're not seeing hundreds, nevertheless the fear and the impact of all these individual incidents is very high.

"So we're trying to ensure that we respond very robustly to any incidents that we learn about. They are not all directed against Muslims, some have been directed against people of an Asian appearance. The fear is very palpable that is what we have to acknowledge and respond to," a police spokesperson said.

20 - minutes. Length of time it took for police and ambulances to arrive in the aftermath of the suicide bomb attacks. Train drivers on the London Underground claimed yesterday they were kept in the dark in the immediate aftermath of the bomb attacks.

Some tube drivers did not know a bomb had gone off on the Underground until they saw the news on TV and one learned of the attacks when his son rang him from Australia.

The man, a train driver as well as a safety representative, yesterday spoke of the "utter confusion" that followed the bombings and he hit out at the lack of safety and evacuation training for staff.

"Nobody knew what was happening for ages. There was a lot of confusion at the start. The first I heard anything was wrong was when the duty manager told me there had been a derailment.

2I had to get my information from Sky News instead of Network Control Centre which should have told me what was happening. A colleague of mine learned about the bombs when his son rang his mobile phone from Australia to know if he was all right."

The man, who is Irish and an employee of Transport For London for the past 10 years, described the situation as "pretty scary".
