Eurostar to quit Waterloo
"Paul Terry" wrote in message ... In message , BH Williams writes My recollection of visits to Waterloo in the late 1960s suggest that at least part of the site of Waterloo International was carriage sidings, along with the lift used for stock exchanges to the Waterloo and City. Correct. There were also a couple of large old BR office blocks, roughly where the new taxi drop-off road to Eurostar is now located. Incidentally, according to wikipedia, the Eurostar terminal was started in 1990 and opened in 1994. -- Paul Terry Glad to know that the information storage facility isn't entirely full of fluff...BTW, I am told there is a press release today regarding the depot Temple Mills, which says definitively that this will REPLACE North Pole.

...and he is also pressing on with the ELL extension which will eventually, after completion of phase 2 to Clapham Jc, provide a full ring route around London in combination with the the NLL and WLL lines. It'd be like a rail version of the M25, and if the Crosslink experiment on the NLL and WLL is anything to go by, it'll have speeds to match :) -- Chris Johns |

... Yes, that's true. But why did you bring Ken into it? The radial infrastructure was there for over a hundred years before he was elected. This is one of the few things he can't blamed for! I didn't, except to define Greater London. -- Terry Harper, Web Co-ordinator, The Omnibus Society 75th Anniversary 2004, see http://www.omnibussoc.org/75th.htm E-mail: URL: http://www.terry.harper.btinternet.co.uk/ |

Was there a canopy that was demolished to make way for Eurostar? There were only 2 platforms, 20 and 21. There were also some sidings and the lift used for access to the Waterloo and City Line. -- Colin Rosenstiel |

wrote: Okay, i give up. Why are there customs and immigration facilities at Kensington Olympia? So a Eurostar can terminate there in the event of Waterloo being unavailable for any reason. I believe it has happened once or twice - though ISTR that Customs and Excise didn't show any interest when it did. Neil |
