No mention of Eurostar transfer at Stratford ...


And, following up my own post, SouthEastern's 2009 route map on that same
site marks their only Eurostar interchanges as St Pancras, Ebbsfleet and
Ashford.


Stratford International is marked only as an interchange for DLR and LU.
Not that that rules out the possibility ... but it may happen only for a
few weeks in the summer of 2012!


I had heard the opposite - that IF Eurostar were calling at Stratford
International by then, their service would be suspended for the duration of
the games, and the Eurostar platforms temporarily altered for use by the
395s [aka the Olympic Javelin service]...


That indeed is the plan - there will be *no* Southeastern high-speed
or Eurostar services (if indeed they ever call) calling at Stratford
Int'l during the period of the Games (I think it'd be the two weeks
plus some time either side). During that time you'll *only* be able to
catch the Javelin service from Stratford Int'l which will call at
Ebbsfleet and St. Pancras.
