I wonder if TPTB will ever submit to reality and stop calling it
Stratford "International", as everyone knows that international
services will never call there.

And maybe "Ashford Not Very International" !

How many international trains have called at Birmingham International?

Ah, that inspires a thought - perhaps the idea is that after HS2, trains
will run from Stratford and Ashford (or, as i like to call them,
Stratshford) Internationals to Scotland?

The line between them already crosses the frontier that is the Thames.
