Another poster commented about day-trip traffic - people living in the
North - my daughter, in York, for instance, or a friend in Hull - simply
can't do day-trips anyway, wherever the Eurostar leaves from. They do
3-days to Amsterdam by ferry, not 24 hours in Paris or Brussels! And I
can't see that changing.

Until Hull Trains came along, it could be cheaper to go to Amsterdam
than to London from Hull. A bit like ye olde pre-railway days, when
the jouney times were about similar.
