The platforms were the wrong height.

You sure about that? I was under the impression that Waterloo International
platforms were built to UK rather than UIC spec.


You may be right. I thought I had read something about the platforms
being lower in the railway press. But, my memory could be at fault,
and the press is often wrong.

There would have been little point building them to UIC gauge since UIC gauge
trains wouldn't be able to get there.
