Anyone any idea why a Eurostar would be passing through Queenstown
Road while I was there yesterday?

Never seen one there before

Wasn't that the standard route from Waterloo to North Pole Depot?


Yes, absolutely. But obviously, as of yesterday, no more.


Heading into Waterloo at 11:10 yesterday, perfectly possible at that time.

Of course. Maybe I should have said "as of today, no more" - or indeed
"as of yesterday evening, no more" - however other posts here have
basically indicated that North Pole depot shut up shop yesterday, so
Eurostar ECS through Queenstown Road was basically a thing of the past
as soon as the last ECS move from North Pole to Waterloo Int'l
happened yesterday - and I've no idea when that was (i.e. whether
morning, afternoon or early evening)!
