Actually, it won't. If the Stratford International DLR link is mooted, passengers will have level access from the Jubbly terminus to the former westbound NLL platform, where they can catch the DLR to the International station. You are right about the lack of direct tube services; unfortunately, the obvious choice of changing at Warren Street requires hiking through the station. Too bad that Crossrail 3 will be opened after the sun has burnt out... Waterloo to King's Cross isn't terrible - if it's done via the cross-platform interchange at Oxford Circus. However, it's not the most obvious route (which I reckon, from the tube map, looks like via Leicester Square). Perhaps they should put up really big signs at Waterloo... There is of course Waterloo East to Northfleet (50 min), which could perhaps be Waterloo to Ebsfleet. However, if I remember from the plans, the North Kent line trains will still use Northfleet, which is several hundred metres from Ebbsfleet. When the Crossrail terminus is built .... |
