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?


So all those of us North of Watford Gap that come to London going on
holiday using Eurostar and traipsing over the tube system to get to
Waterloo will in 2007 GIVE A BLOODY big cheer.
I have used Eurostar a number of times and will continue to do so
in the future when going on holiday.

The bottom line re this move is that SOME section of the travelling
public is going to be INCONVENIENCED.
The only other way would be a dedicated line out of Waterloo at a
'high' speed and thats as likely as finding weapons of mass destruction
in Iraq
