That is the reason why I suggested a regular Waterloo-Ashford service
using former Eurostar paths and connecting with Eurostar trains at
Ashford International. I think that is the only way Eurostar can hope
to retain this large and affluent customer base.

I still can't see what's wrong with taking the new super-glamorous
Jubilee line extension from Waterloo to the new super-glamorous
Eurostar station at Stratford. It'll only be a few stops, is 4
billion quid's worth of underground line too downmarket for this
affluent customer base or something?
