With half the number of trains to reach critical mass, that might well
be the case. Meanwhile, the journey time from Waterloo will be
unattractive also. What's wrong with promoting the Waterloo East to
Ashford services as a compromise?


Because they will be desperately unattractive to those people who can
now transfer from their SWT service to a Eurostar at Waterloo. Adding
an extra leg to a journey is never attractive, especially when that
extra leg is itself inconvenient. Surely you can understand that?

Yes, but I also understand that funds aren't limitless; and there are
easier ways for SWT passengers to "catch up" with E* than there are for
people currently arriving at KX/StP.
