Letter: Eurostar should fit platforms
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: We used to have a train from Birmingham New Street which was run to connect with the Eurostar at Waterloo. Each morning it would stand practically empty while the "normal" Intercity to Euston filled up to overflowing with grumpy passengers.
Many people travelling to south London expressed interest in using the Waterloo train, but since only Eurostar travellers were allowed on, the service quietly died. Why not reinstate it as an open service? It would not then matter if it did have the wrong kind of pantograph.
