that is not a great deal of help. I'm in the quadrant that is probably

affected by the change. I'm too far west to make using Ashford at all
attractive and too far south for an easy journey to St Pancras. Also
will
there be CIV tickets available?

I must be missing something as I do Waterloo-St Pancras everytime I
go and see my girlfriend in Bournemouth (thus avoiding Virgin voyagers
and CT fun since the Cov-Loughborough service was shelved). This is
sometimes with a _large_ rucksack or trolley for a week's stay. I
usually go St.Pancras to Leicester Square on the Piccy and then on to
Waterloo on the Northern. There's a few steps in there and sometimes
the Tube can be a bit packed (especially at peak times) but its not a
big deal IMHO.

The bid advantage of the old SR was that it offered interchange between it's
surface lines. As the CTRL goes through, err, Kent, why can't we have a
connecting service between Waterloo and whichever convenient station on the
CTRL they choose?
