Police evacuate Birmingham centre
 
Police in Birmingham in the Midlands are evacuating the city centre.

Earlier they issued a warning they had received intelligence suggesting a threat to the area.

"Our response needs to be proportionate in the action we're taking and in informing the public," a spokeswoman for West Midlands Police said.

Police are now closing down the Birmingham Broad street entertainment zone and asking people to go home. A statement will be released shortly.


Once it starts it doesnīt seem to stop. I hope itīs nothing serious this time.

A suitcase was left at Manchester Picidilly train station yesterday afternoon. The station was evactuated along with the adjacent roads to the station. Bobm disposal teams carried out a controlled explosion. Trains into the station were temperarily suspended and the tram netwrok was also thrown into chaos.

20,000 people were evacuated from Birmingham city centre. The area was closed off for 10 hours. It is now back open....

Hmmmmmmm yeah there was an alert at Leeds bus station yesterday. I suppose they are to be expected, everyone is viewing any loose luggage/bags as potential bombs.
