Default Eurostar to quit Waterloo

But I don't use them so that's okay. (That is the attitude we're meant to
take isn't it?


No - your reasoning has failed. The argument is not about things we
don't use - it is about facilities that are currently in place and that
we do use - and that are not being replaced by anything comparable.

Otherwise I can't see why so many people are complaining
about the Eurostar terminal moving all of 1.9 miles across a city with a
very good public transport links.)


Its not the distance. Its the time and inconvenience that is the problem
- as you so very well demonstrate.

If you want flat interchanges then go to Waterloo as normal and get a bus to
Euston (at least three routes IIRC) and walk from there. Or you could walk
to Aldwych and get a direct bus from there. It'll take around 30 minutes
either way.


What's the point? Heathrow is 15 minutes drive from this part of
South-West London and flying is cheaper.
