Farewell Eurostar
I'm very sorry to lose Eurostar from Waterloo. It was so convenient - I could be walking through those gates within 30 to 40 minutes of leaving home. And it is a much more comfortable and convenient way of getting to the centre of Paris or Brussels than traipsing out to the airport, hanging around for so long in Departures, sitting in a cramped seat and then travelling from the airport into town.
Still the good news is that, following a campaign by Edward Davey MP, those Eurostar platforms are going to be used to serve the surburban lines, and not converted into a shopping mall as was originally proposed.

we too are losing a significant proportion of our eurostar services from ashford. fewer trains will now go to paris and none at all to brussels.
instead we have to travel to ebbsfleet up near gravesend.
this is another blow to the communities of east kent!
