<p>Bus controllers were not told there had been explosions on three Tube trains before a fourth bomb went off on a bus, the inquest into the 7/7 attacks has heard.</p>
<p>The bombing of a number 30 bus in Tavistock Square, central London, came nearly an hour after the atrocities on the London Underground on July 7, 2005.</p>
<p>The families of some of the 13 people killed in the Tavistock Square bombing have questioned why London&#8217;s entire public transport network was not shut down after the Underground attacks.</p>
<p>Andrew Barr, London Underground&#8217;s network co-ordination manager, has been questioned about communications between the Tube&#8217;s network control centre (NCC) and Centrecom, the control room responsible for London&#8217;s buses, on the day of the bombings.</p>
<p>Hugo Keith QC, counsel to the inquest, said to him: &#8220;There isn&#8217;t very much in terms of the information received from the NCC as to what your thinking was as to the possible cause of the explosions. Because they weren&#8217;t aware, until the bomb detonated in Tavistock Square, of the explosions.&#8221;</p>
<p>The inquest also heard that nearly all London Underground&#8217;s planning for a terrorist incident was based on a single attack.</p>
<p>Islamic terrorists Mohammed Sidique Khan, 30, Shehzad Tanweer, 22, and Jermaine Lindsay, 19, detonated their devices in co-ordinated attacks on three Tube trains within three minutes of 8.50am.</p>
<p>London Underground&#8217;s control room issued a &#8220;Code Amber&#8221; at about 9.18am ordering all Tube drivers to continue to the next station platform and stop, and the entire Tube network was completely evacuated at around 9.40am.</p>
<p>Mr Keith suggested that Tube controllers were hampered by communications difficulties on the day of the bombings, asking: &#8220;Would you agree, Mr Barr, that on the morning of July 7 the flow of information to the NCC did not work as well as you might perhaps have expected?&#8221;</p>
<p>The senior Tube manager replied: &#8220;It was not as good as it should have been.&#8221;</p>
