Sorry, but what's the point of it? Turning an express train into a
slow stopper for the last couple of miles?


It's no different from WCML trains stopping at Watford Junction. It
relieves the pressure on capacity at Kings Cross St Pancras, though
presumably it will be only some trains that stop at Stratford.


Plus Stratford is on the Central, Jubilee & DLR - St Pancras isn't.
Yes, most newbies and tourists won't appreciate that but I imagine a
lot of more regular users of the service would.
