You got used to catching the Eurostar from London Waterloo
to Paris or Brussels? Well, in 2007, all cross
channel trains will no longer use Waterloo station, which
was opened in 1993 at a cost of £130 million.
(Note, Waterloo was the scene of one of France’s
greatest military defeats in 1825!) Instead the
Eurostar will start from St. Pancras station in north
London and a depot near Stratford, east London, that has
yet to be built. The decision was made because
Eurostar believes the cost of running two London bases
would be too much.
