Default Eurostar to quit Waterloo

Back in May this year I was in a EuroStar train from Paris to London which
appeared to get lost.

At any rate we eventually went in to Kensington Olympia. The carriage doors
remained locked and a tannoy voice said that nobody could get out there
because we had to go thru to Waterloo for Customs and Immigration.

That was bull**** because of course we had done both French and British
Customs at the Gare du Nord in Paris.

After about half an hour of hanging around Olympia we eventually went to
Waterloo. The train did not have to reverse en route.

Once at Waterloo there were no further immigration or Customs checks.

Is there a direct link from Eurostar to Olympia, without reversing at

Waterloo?


Marc.


When the rail link opens, it'll be via the North London Line.
