Stratford Eurostar station.

It relieves the pressure on capacity at Kings Cross St Pancras, though presumably it will be only some trains that stop at Stratford. (Hmm, wonder if Freedom Passes wil be accepted for Stratford-St Pancras?) Presumably there will be no trains stopping St Pancras - Stratford - Ashford - Calais - Lille - Gare Du Nord ! Still, for an express long distance service, it does seem silly to add the short stop so close to the final destination.... How long does a "stop" take for the Eurostar? No longer than for any other long distance express in my experience. But in context of a train passing through without stopping? 3-4 minutes is reasonable?
