Waterloo International Railway Station

Waterloo International Station was the London terminus of the Eurostar from 1994 to 2007, before Eurostar moved operations to London St Pancras after the completion of High Speed 1 (also known as the Channel Tunnel Rail Link).

The station was not originally part of the main complex in Waterloo when Eurostar ran services from the station and its sole function was to provide international services. It had five platforms, an impressive glass roof and cost £120 million when built in the early 1990s.

The station closed on the 13th November 2007. This was because Eurostar moved operations to London St Pancras because HS1 was completed. The station lay empty for many years, but from 2010-2011 was used for a setting for the play "The Railway Children" based on the book by E.Nesbit

The station still exists and was used by South West Trains from December 2013 on limited services.

In 2016 however, the whole station will be brought back into revenue service by December 2018.
