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


No, North Pole depot is still open but Waterloo International is shut!


Not really John, though it depends upon what you mean by open. The
North Pole depot has basically shut up shop now, as AIUI there are no
longer any Eurostar trains there at all anymore, nor have there been
since the last Eurostar left for an an ECS move to Waterloo
International sometime on tuesday (13 Nov).

....in particular the post from D7666 aka Nick where he says this

[...] One piece of gen i picked up was that North Pole depot was
effectively cleared last week except for inspections on units required
for service. As of tonight it should be devoid of stock and parts
except for one barrier vehicle that is for scrap. The enhanced quasi-
border security is withdrawn at 06:00 tomorrow and from then on the
depot site is ''normal'' railway security.

I doubt there's much happening at all anymore at the North Pole depot.
