Paul Munakr lives on the 7th floor of Grenfell Tower and managed to escape.

He told BBC News: "I managed to get out the building, not by a fire alarm, or something like that, it was by people down below screaming to people, don't jump, don't jump off the building.

"Now, honestly I don't know for certain if people jumped off the building to get away from the fire, but the main thing for me with this incident is the fact that the fire alarms didn't go off in the building."

Commuters will be able to get updates such as when their bus is due to arrive as Transport for London is launching a new social media tool which will "chat".

Called TravelBot, the tool will use Messenger, external to tell them updates such as bus arrivals, bus route status, service updates for the Tube, TfL rail, Overground, DLR and trams and maps.

As people use the service, it will “learn” and become even more precise. TfL will explore the possibility of further features in the future including providing journey planning information and status alerts.

Shashi Verma, TfL’s director of customer experience, said: “Millions of people already use our Journey Planner and social media channels to help them get around London, and we are constantly seeking new ways to make the process even easier.

"This TravelBot will make it simpler for people using Messenger to get the information they need as they move around the city."
