Default Stratford Eurostar station.

In addition to all the tube (and DLR) links mentioned, an
international
station at Stratford means that Eurostar passengers to/from many parts
of Essex and East Anglia do not have to go to central London to

change.

When Crossrail is built, it will mean that Eurostar passengers to/from
the west of London won't need to change in central London.

And if the proposed plan to run Eurostar services on the west coast
mainline materialises, Stratford will be the only London stop.


It'll be the new Clapham Junction.


So what will they do with the old one?


Make that into the new Waterloo.

Seriously.

Newstreet has shops, and no barriers stopping you from leaving.

If you buy a ticket there's nothing stopping you from leaving Clapham
Junction either. In fact, you should buy several tickets, seeing as you
think rail travel is far too cheap.
