It looks like Circle, Hammersmith and City, Central, Piccadilly and Jubilee lines are affected.

And even then Liverpool Street was on the circle/metropolitan/hammersmith and city lines section. Apparently a circle line train.
Few people at work had family within London, all of which were finally contacted by using landlines and email.
The mobile phone networks have routed all operations for emergency and third party services.

London Terror Attacks Kill 45, Reports
At least 45 people are reported to have been killed and 1,000 injured in a series of terror attacks on London.Sky News crime correspondent Martin Brunt said the figures, which could rise, were from a reliable, but unofficial source.
He also reported that it is understood that seven were killed in the bus blast in Tavistock Square.
A Transport for London spokeswoman said the bus hit by the explosion was a number 30, travelling from Hackney to Marble Arch.
A previously unknown group calling itself "Secret Organisation al Qaeda in Europe" said it carried out the attacks as revenge for British "military massacres" in Iraq and Afghanistan.
London hospitals have reported a total of 300 wounded after a series of blasts hit locations across the city on buses and Tube stations.
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair said there was evidence of explosives at least two sites.
Scotland Yard has denied reports they were warned of an attack by Israel minutes before the blasts.
Two people have been confirmed dead and at least 90 people injured in the explosion at Aldgate Station.
Prime Minister Tony Blair, issued a joint statement from all the leaders at the G8 summit.
"This is not an attack on one nation - it's an attack on all nations and civilised people everywhere," he said.
"It's important however that those engaged in terrorism realise that our determination to defend our values and way of life is greater than their determination to cause death and destruction to innocent people."
Witness, Angie, saw the bus explode. She said: "There were a whole lot of people around the bus. Next thing I was on the floor and there were a lot of people on me.
"I thought I was going to be crushed. The bus was ripped out at the back. It must have been a bomb."
The entire Tube network has been shut down and police have confirmed blasts at four sites: Russell Square and King's Cross Underground; Moorgate, Aldgate, and Liverpool Street Underground; Edgware Road Underground; and Tavistock Square where there has been a confirmed explosion on a bus.
One witness said the packed underground train he was on was 200 metres from King's Cross when there was a huge flash.
The train stopped and people were using umbrellas to smash windows of the trains. Passengers were led out of the train by underground staff.

Work for RAC and was advised all mobile phone calls to cell area 'xyz' in London will have operations directed to emergency and third party services.
Complied with a Vodafone quote..
"Because all our switches are at capacity, we need to ensure police and emergency services can communicate," said a Vodafone spokesperson.
RE: Being scared. Its stiff upper lip time; give sympathy and show compassion to those affected. But as far as being worried goes; dont give the *******s that privilage.
