7/7 Timeline - another Dodgy Dossier - Reid backtracks

4 "suicide bombers" snapped on CCTV aparently entering Luton station on the morning of July 7th 2005 was released by the police on July 16th 2005.

The image is time and date-stamped as 07.21:54

The July the 7th blog covers the whole story of the train times from Luton to Kings X that morning.

The Metropolitan Police have always stated that the alleged bombers caught the 7.40am Thameslink train from Luton to King's Cross. That the alleged bombers caught the 7.40am train was widely reported in television and newspaper reports around the world - without exception. This 'fact' was also confirmed in the official Government narrative of events.... and now John Reid says it is wrong and wants to know why the "timeline" report was inaccurate.

Oooops!

Reid reveals 7 July account error (BBC Online today timed at 21.07 BST)

"The Home Secretary has asked police to explain why a mistake was made in the government's version of what happened on the day of the London bombings.

The official account, published earlier this year, said the four bombers had left Luton train station at 0740 BST on 7 July.

However, it has now emerged that was inaccurate (which is obvious because that train never ran) - they actually left at 0725, but the account was right in saying they arrived at King's Cross station, 58 minutes later at 0823.

Mr Reid said the discrepancy came to light at the end of last week, when police pointed out the inaccuracy."

But the July 7th blog says this about that train...

Let us consider an earlier train, which left Luton station at 07.25, and arrived into King’s Cross Thameslink at 08.23 am (because of delays on the line); thus, its journey took 58 minutes. This scenario would give the four young men barely three minutes to walk up the stairs at Luton, buy their tickets in the morning rush-hour and then get to the platform. Some have suggested that Lindsay German from Aylesbury had arrived early and bought the four tickets in advance (day-returns at 22 pounds each), to make this feasible. But, from King’s Cross Thameslink, it takes a good seven minutes to walk through the long, Underground tube passage which includes a ticket barrier, to reach the main King’s Cross station, in the morning rush-hour with large rucksacks – in no way could they have been captured on the 08.26am alleged CCTV picture.(Which has never been made public).

Computer records of the train timetables were kindly made available both by Marie Bernes at Customer Relations at King's Cross, and from Chris Hudson, Communications Manager of Thameslink Rail, at Luton station.

This is not the first time the Metropolitan Police have a problem with the times at Luton Station

Wednesday, September 21 Time goes backwards for the Metropolitan Police OFFICIAL

Suddenly after a press conference with PC Clarke, The Hammer of Islamofascist fundamentalist Jihadists every major news media reported that the 4 "bombers" (3 from Leedsand 1 from Luton - who had been there since 5 am (?)) all met at 6.51.... yet did not stroll into the station until 7.21.. 30 minutes later.

Finally the assiduous work of the London researchers ferreting away has been rewarded .... perhaps more of the Truth is due to emerge ?

Mr Reid has really set the cat amongst the pigeons....

FOOTNOTE

Chimes of Freedom does a good analysis of the 7/7 Timeline, raising many more discrepancies than just the one John Reid now seeks to correct.
