From a pure-numbers point of view, there are more people within an
hour's journey of St Pancras than there are within an hour of
Waterloo. Throwing Stratford into the mix (if they actually use it!)
boosts this considerably. The Thameslink Programme will get even more
people connected to St Pancras (including from some bits of south west
London and Surrey), and Crossrail would also place a lot of extra
people closer to St Pancras (via Farringdon).


Isn't crossrail going to Stratford too?


Yes, but Eurostar isn't.


Might not be. Once the dust has settled after the Olympics and the area
starts to fill up with suits and trendies, and Crossrail arrives, stopping
international trains there will make a lot more business sense.
