Goodbye Waterloo


The 13th of November 2007 is the last day of Eurostar at London Waterloo.

While it may have amused the English to have the French arrive at a station named Waterloo, you can be assured that the French were having the last laugh before they even got to the station. Laughing at the slowness of trains in Britain.

Underfunded British railway infrastructure meant that the high speed Eurostar would have to slow down to regular passenger train speed once it emerged on the English side of the tunnel.

As of the 14th of November the Eurostar will operate from St Pancras and will use the new high speed tunnel under London.
