Now that Eurostar has been running the full length of HS1 and has
been serving St. Pancras for a little over five months, who was
right? Did all of the people living in areas reachable from, via or in
SW
London who used to go via Waterloo give up and go to Gatwick? Did
swarms of people that once stuffed themselves into the Underground
and Thameslink to get to Waterloo from Euston, KxSTP and Liverpool
St now just walk up to the St. Pancras turnstiles?

All the bally-hoo about the half hour chopped off the London-Paris
time is somewhat moot for those of us who'd travel into Waterloo.
That half hour saved is spent making the unpleasant trip from
Waterloo to St Pancras.

I personally thought they should have kept a Eurostar Waterloo service,
even if only a limited service. But for people going that way it would
certainly save the trek across London. Plus the infrastructure was already
there!

I had asked about this earlier, and apparently they had considered
maintaining some services to northern France or to Brussels. Alas, however,
this did not work out.
