I often use the FGW service out of Paddington and notice Eurostar

Waterloo or PGduN.

They run from Waterloo, via the Sheepcote Lane chord, to Kensington
Olympia
and then on up the West London line to their depot at North Pole...

Thanks Jack (and Paul). You have cleared something up that has bugged me
for ages. Unfortunately, you'ved given me something else to think about
now. How on earth did the depot get the name 'North Pole'?
