That’s both the most paranoid and funniest thing I’ve read in ages. Given that tube trains run every 1-2 minutes, and indicator boards on each platform tell you how long until the next train, why would a terrorist need an app like this to know when a train is going to arrive? Someone needs to get out more.

I think that if London, a city that has experienced decades of terrorist bombing, is okay with letting people know when their train is going to arrive, then that probably indicates it’s not much threat to those people’s survival. I suppose there is always the risk that making the trains run on time will turn Britain facist, but I’m not sure the causality runs that way.

Wow, this would be an excellent app for the terrorists to set perfect timing of detonation of their planted explosives. They would know exactly which train to blow up.
