Eurostar Bids Adieu to Waterloo

By Linda Tancs

Not even an industrial strike in France affecting the Metro and train service to Calais and Lille can rain on Eurostar’s parade.  Beginning today, Eurostar leaves its roost at Waterloo for new digs at St Pancras offering a higher-speed line to Paris and Brussels.  Commuting time will now be just over 2 hours to Paris and just under 2 hours to Brussels.  Those morning croissants might still be fresh when you get there.
