International rail capacity at London’s St Pancras station could ‘double’ in the next four years

  1. All we will see is another doubling of the ticket prices by Eurostar due to no competition

  2. Very vague on how exactly they’re going to do that when there’s already no space in the departure lounge as it is. Changing the layout isn’t going to magically double the available space.

  3. All at the expense of those living in Kent.. many more trains but without any international stops.

    Barbaric treatment!

  4. Anyone living in East Anglia will go to Stansted rather than the idiocy of no Eurostar at Stratford international, and the slog across London to get to St Pancras

  5. Could is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this article.

    I could win the lottery next week.

  6. having recently used the International terminal youd have to wonder where the capacity would come from.

  9. Useful blog article from Jon Worth:

    “TL;DR – whatever you read in the press about future long distance train services through the Channel Tunnel is at best only part of the truth, because the reality is complicated

    Periodically stories appear in newspapers, on radio and television, and also in the dedicated railway trade press, about future passenger train services through the Channel Tunnel – either new destinations to be offered by Eurostar, or completely alternative operators proposing new services. Most of these stories are based on statements made by players in the railway industry that have a particular incentive to explain the situation from their point of view, leading to inaccuracies in these reports.

    This blog post is designed as a general response to those stories – a kind of overall assessment of the future of Channel Tunnel long distance passenger railway traffic, to help someone make sense of the stories that might appear in future.”
