It's easy: get off at Vauxhall, get on the Victoria Line, get off at
KXSP. That is one of the easiest cross-London transfers ever. If your
particular train doesn't stop at Vauxhall, perhaps you would like to
lobby SWT to stop it there.


All those steps? With heavy luggage? I *don't* think so.


Perhaps when they close Waterloo Intl they can be persuaded to move
some of the redundant escalators to Vauxhall?



I think I have a solution to the problem.

Run frequent domestic services between Waterloo (formerly)
International and Ashford International (via CTRL Phase 1) using the
paths freed up by the withdrawal of Eurostar services.

Problem solved? I think so.
