Incidentally, you are only considering travel FROM London. I wonder how
many of the foreign tourists who come TO London for a short break, and
who can currently walk to many attractions from Waterloo, will bother to
come here when they find they are deposited amid the delights of King's
Cross?

That's a good point. Does anyone know if any tourists have ever
visited Paris? ISTR a friend went there a while back, but maybe he was
the only visitor this year. After all, Paris North station is hardly
in the best area, so perhaps Paris gets no visitors.

The area around Brussels South is a little dodgy. Presumably no-one
goes to Belgium for short breaks?

Out of interest, what are the big tourist attractions in Hounslow or
Crawley which the tourists who fly come to see?
