Can't see that being too popular. The service has been speeded up with
a new line only to be slowed down again with an extra station stop.
Seems a bit farcical to me anyway having an international service
calling at a station only 4 miles from where it started (could you
ever imagine the french building a new TGV stop in the Paris
suburbs?). Best left to the local services.


They could make Stratford a request stop for Eurostars... ;-)
