July 7 (Bloomberg) -- London closed its subway system and evacuated all stations after explosions occurred in two locations on the network.

Police said a ``major incident'' had occurred, without elaborating on a possible cause. The British Broadcasting Corp. said a power surge may have affected trains underground. Sky News said a bus exploded at Russell Square, west of the city's financial district.

Emergency services were called to Liverpool Street station, Aldgate, and Edgware Road, London police said in a statement.Transport for London, which runs the city's transport network, released a statement saying the subway was suspended and all stations have been evacuated.

A policeman on the scene at Liverpool Street said an incident may have been caused by a train crash. He didn't specify whether it was an underground or overground train.

A spokesman said London Fire Brigade was called to an explosion at Liverpool Street. A city of London police spokesman said a blast occurred just before 9 a.m. local time at Aldgate station, and a number of people were wounded.

London Ambulance Service initially sent four vehicles to Liverpool Street, a spokesman said.
