....because some one had left a suitcase unattended on a carriage. It was a bit worrying with all that is going on today with the reports, even more so that I was sitting 3 metres away from the case :/

What was even worse was that as soon as a woman started asking around if it was anyones case, even when it wasn't claimed, no-body looked remotely concerned that it had just been left there!!

I was off the train at the next stop like a shot, at which point everyone was told to get off the train and the station closed, all within about 5 minutes.

It was good that the staff acted quickly, but I was shocked at the "I don't care" attitude as to who this case belonged to, and when they were forced to get off the train everyone looked annoyed at the inconvenience it had caused!

Do you get the feeling that some people just don't get the necessary security measures these days?!

Run around screaming?

No, but no-one showed any concern at all, even when the train stopped and the guards came over to inspect the case everyone just sat there not looking even remotely bothered. I just found that strange considering all fuss that is made of unattended bags!
 
Well I've only been down here for 2 months so not a 'Londoner'.

I think the thing that bothered me the most was the fact that no-one even mentioned reporting it, even after no-one claimed it. Even after being told for the past 5 years to be extra vigal and report any left baggage!

Just seemed a bit, well, dumb.
