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.


I assume it suffers from the same cost issues as keeping Waterloo
International open (i.e. lots of staff needed to run the security
checkpoints, duplicating those over at St P), and I'd have thought a
station at Stratford is less useful/desirable than one at Waterloo...


True. A service running over the CTRL would, however, be a lot more
practical/reliable than one running over the south London suburban lines.
