Thanks for the link. It does seem extraordinary, though, that over a
million pounds a year is being spent in maintaining the unused Eurostar
platforms and terminal at Waterloo.

I don't believe for one minute it's costing that to maintain.

The figure quoted in parliament earlier this month, obtained as the
result of a freedom of information request, was a cost to the tax payer
of more than four million pounds for keeping the platforms mothballed
for the last three years.
