The terrorist threat level specific to major UK transport hubs has been raised from substantial to severe, the BBC understands.
The move includes airports and London railway terminals, although there is no suggestion of any intelligence of an imminent attack.
The threat to the UK overall remains where it has been for the past year at the second-highest level, "severe".
Security officials are stressing the change is precautionary
Seems weird to raise it out of the blue if there is "no suggestion of any intelligence of an imminent attack"
