Stratford International opening date?
Andrew Heenan wrote:
Political pressure seems to have already guaranteed a token service for Ashford, but Stratford is so close to St. P-I, that it'll take a political storm to add eight minutes to everyone else's journey. Eight minutes to the journey of passengers alighting at St. P-I, but compare that against the extra time taken for passengers who prefer Stratford to get to StPI. To be fair, you'd need to compare likely passenger preference with estimated delays on both options. Perhaps even add in issues of station crowding and throughput -- I used e* from StPI just before Xmas and it was pretty overcrowded just past the gates in departures. I'm not claiming an answer either way. But simply stating that everyones journey is +8 minutes slower isn't right. For myself, at the moment, I'd prefer the old slower times from Waterloo than faster ones from StPi or Stratford. From my front door to Paris Thingy du Nord, that would be easier and probably take about the same time. #Paul |
