Despite TV news showing scenes from traffic cameras outside King's Cross with emergency vehicles parked up, no official mention is made of an explosion at King's Cross or Russell Square on TV news coverage until around 10.25, approximately an hour and a half after this explosion.
Why the King's Cross – Russell Square blast is not mentioned for such a long time is unfathomable, given that the initial time line states that this was the second explosion timed at 8.56, just 6 minutes after the first reports of an explosion at Liverpool Street at 8.50, which TV News was covering from 9.17 onwards. BBC news had announced at 9.33 that there had been a second explosion at Edgware Road with no mention of King's Cross or Russell Square, the locations from which the majority of victims came -- double the number of victims than any other location affected on 7/7.
ITN News first announce an explosion at King's Cross and Russell Square at 10.25, which is shortly after the MPS press release issued five minutes earlier at 10.20. This is also after the number 30 bus explosion has been announced and 90 minutes after 8.50, the time at which the Home Office report states all three underground explosions occurred. No explanation has ever been given for this delay.
Transport for London (TfL) fail to mention an explosion at King's Cross or Russell Square, reporting only explosions at Liverpool Street and Edgware Road in its first press release issued at 9.55 and it is not until 14.25 that this King's Cross is mentioned, with the train identified as travelling towards rather than away from King's Cross:
