Thanks All services From this month all services will use Section 1 (which connects at some Junction) IIRC Fawkham Junction?? Which runs from there to the Channel Tunnel, and from 2007 most services will operate from St Pancras. Services will still operate from waterloo, but to a much lesser extent Than now. off to watch A Life of Grime... -- To reply direct, remove NOSPAM and replace with railwaysonline For the Latest News, Information and Photos check out http://www.railwaysonline.co.uk |

Will that be timetabled trains still going to Waterloo or just one-off occasions when there might be a problem between Fawkham and St Pancras? It seems a bit strange that after they spend the billions of pounds on the nice shiny new route and enlarging St Pancras they then carry on using Waterloo. |

The majority of services will use St Pancras but there will still be regular, timetabled services into/out of Waterloo. Not everyone lives north of the river! |

regular, timetabled services into/out of Waterloo. Not everyone lives north of the river! So I suppose that Waterloo and St Pancras are goin to be like Heathrow and Gatwick for international services as such. If I was a visitor to the country I would muchprefer it if all the international trains ran from the on station. That way if you need to travel at short notice you can just turn up at the terminal and book a ticket. With services from Waterloo and St Pancras you will have to check timetables to see what station you need to be at. If they are going to keep the two international stations then I suggest that maybe Brussels goes from one and Paris from the other. Just a suggestion..... |

I personally think that your suggestion would be more confusing and inconvenient. I live south of the river and it already takes me 30 minutes to get to Waterloo. I'd rather not spend another 30 minutes getting to St. Pancras. |
