Default Eurostar to quit Waterloo

--- Dave Liney said...

There ... isn't a business case for two terminals then one will
have to close. Closing StP isn't an option (it would make the
CTRL phase 2 rather pointless) so Waterloo has to.

Yes, but why should our railways only do what is demanded *only* by the
business case? There's this little thing called subsidy, which can be
used to persuade them to go against the business case when it makes
sense in terms of the wider picture. Why not use that to keep Waterloo
Int'l open?
