I don't remember the tubes being closed in the evening, and most of the 'buses were back up by 4pm.

I remember it very differently - and so does Wikipedia:
'For most of the day, central London's public transport system was largely out of service following the complete closure of the Underground, the closure of the Zone 1 bus network, and the evacuation of incident sites such as Russell Square. . River vessels were pressed into service to provide a free alternative to overcrowded trains and buses. Local lifeboats were required to act as safety boats, including the Sheerness lifeboat from the Isle of Sheppey in Kent. Thousands of people chose to walk home or to the nearest Zone 2 bus or railway station. Most of the Underground, apart from the stations affected by the bombs, resumed service the next morning, though some commuters chose to stay at home.'

You missed out
"Bus services restarted at 4 p.m. on 7 July"

Not in Zone 1.

Also
Do you always carry a spare helmet about with you?

No I don't.

Ahem
I explained that I didn't have a spare helmet - but reasoned that the police would have more important things on their mind.

Oh yeah - I couldn't be bothered to read that far.

So what you are saying is
that you skimmed Wikipedia before making this up.

Most, but by no means all.
Even if they were, there was a hell of a backlog. I left work at 18:00 that day and it took me three hours to travel from the City to Ealing.

Yeah I know. Mrs V and I just went to the 'pub instead, which was equally impossible to get into.

Albert, you should have run a "Pint delivered anywhere within five miles, £15" service.

Pints on a moped?

Find a pub that lets you take away pints in a milk carton.
There are at least two in Oxford so there must be some in London.
