All they'd have had to install would be gates and departure boards downstairs in the former eurostar concourse and the track was already linked to the rest of the network. The platforms were the wrong height. Moreover, the track layout and I'll have to go back and see if they've raised them. It didn't look as though they had when I went there on tuesday and lowering the track is obviously not feasible. signalling may not have been appropriate for domestic traffic. Sure, they'd have had to install some points and redo signalling interlocking but how long would that take at worst, 6 months? But, you are correct, in that after the international service moved to Saint Pancras, DfT and Network Rail should have been considering re-utilizing the station. Given the recent new rail projects given the go ahead one can only hope the view of rail being a liability that seems to have been prevelant in the DfT for years is slowly going by the wayside. -- Spud |
