They could make Stratford a request stop for Eurostars... ;-)

I've often wondered whether St Pancras, let alone Stratford, was a wise
decision by Eurostar. Whenever I've travelled on the service, it has
seemed that an awful lot of passengers prefer the convenience of
Waterloo because they are

1. Wealthy retired from SW London off for a short break.

2. Businessmen and civil servants from along the Thames Valley.

3. Short-stay French tourists who appreciate alighting on the South Bank
and within walking distance of numerous tourist attractions.

Whether St Pancras will have any of the same appeal will remain to be
seen. Stratford, if it doesn't become a request stop (: might well
end up like Ashford once the Olympics have finished their brief
appearance.
