So given it's been very quiet of late on this, I was wondering what the latest was on any plans to run trains from London to Germany?
I bring it up because I heard over the weekend at Stratford International that a German company (I assume DB) is apparently bidding to operate the never-used International platforms to run trains to Germany.
It struck me as a bit odd why anyone would want to use Stratford, unless St Pancras is deemed full (but then how could it work at Stratford?).
Plus, did Stratford ever get kitted out with an international departures and arrival hall? Is it just sitting empty, or has it been used for other purposes since? How easy would it be to actually get the station actually capable of accepting international trains?
I really long for trains to Germany, but now seems even more unlikely than ever - especially with Brexit!
