Maybe because of this more people are using mtgox, and because they can only do 300 transactions a day they are having to0 turn away business?

Anyone shed any light on the matter?

Mt. Gox's message said even they weren't contacted by Barclays before it happened, so they didn't know.   They usually don't provide the details when bank problems occur.

You probably should assume it will be closed for an extended period of time though.

Here are some options to consider:

Blockchain.info just added the ability to use Barclay's Pingit to buy bitcoins using GBP:

You can also send cash (GBP) in the mail to Bitcoin Nordic (in Denmark):

And, or course, there may be a chance for a local trade:
