London Waterloo International station was the London terminus of the Eurostar international rail service from its opening on 14 November 1994 to its closure on 13 November 2007, when it was replaced by London St Pancras International as the terminal for international rail services. It was on the western side of London Waterloo mainline station but was managed and branded separately.
In August 2017, the buildings and platforms were reopened for one month while platforms within the main station were rebuilt. After a period of redevelopment, platforms 20-22 reopened as part of the main station in December 2018, followed by platforms 23 and 24 in May 2019.
Recorded in 1999

Yes fond memories I remember the Eurostars passing east malling on numerous occasions even though that was not their main route usually they were diversions due to engineering work on the tonbridge route they were very limited operating on 3rd rail only allowed to run at 100 mph between tonbridge and ashford on that long straight but i think speeds via Maidstone east were maximum 80-85 mph so trains ran about10 mins slower but this route was less steeply graded and therefore there were fewer eurostar failures than the tonbridge to seven oaks section I do remember some peak hour trains also being booked to use this route happy days shame its all in the past but at least the trains can run at there full speed now.
