If you didn't have a ticket for HS1, how did you expect to get through
the
barriers to get on/off the train?


Perhaps the explanation"One can take a peek at Stratford International
and partake in the unusual shuttle bus ride through the building site
that links it to Stratford (Regional) station without riding on the
Highspeed trains " gives it away?


That bit I got, but the PP said "Being too much of a cheapskate to pay a
fiver to get to Central London, and grumbling a bit about there being no
supplement to a weekly travelcard, I retraced my steps and took the
Central Line instead"

Implying that he actually wated to go to Liverpool Street, not just take a
peek at the station.


Oops, ... St Pancras...
