Default New Eurostar line from Waterloo

The majority of services will use St Pancras but there will still be
regular, timetabled services into/out of Waterloo. Not everyone lives

north
of the river!



So I suppose that Waterloo and St Pancras are goin to be like Heathrow and
Gatwick for international services as such. If I was a visitor to the
country I would muchprefer it if all the international trains ran from the
on station. That way if you need to travel at short notice you can just

turn
up at the terminal and book a ticket. With services from Waterloo and St
Pancras you will have to check timetables to see what station you need to

be
at.

If they are going to keep the two international stations then I suggest

that
maybe Brussels goes from one and Paris from the other. Just a
suggestion.....


I personally think that your suggestion would be more confusing and
inconvenient. I live south of the river and it already takes me 30 minutes
to get to Waterloo. I'd rather not spend another 30 minutes getting to St.
Pancras.
