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


Often wondered about similar routes - the transpennine from manchester
to liverpool stops at oxford road as well as piccadilly. If anything
it should stop at deansgate, a metrolink interchange (saving 20
minutes off a journey to altrincham or eccles from liverpool or
warrington).

But you would guess that a eurostar would stop paris, lille, ashford,
london. The two main cities and the two sides of the tunnel. Who wants
to go to stratford anyway?

Of course, is the tunnel really used as much as it should be? Where
are overnight through trains to Italy and Germany? (Preferably at
Italian prices - 10p per mile for an overnight couchette).
