The view is now looking south over Waterloo station. This is London's largest terminus in terms of both platforms and passengers. It is really now two stations in one as alongside is Waterloo International which handles Eurostars to Continental Europe. The extra length of the platforms compared to the regular station is very apparent in order to accommodate the 18 coach trains plus two power cars.

In this view Stagecoach or South West Train EMUs can be seen entering and leaving the station which was first opened in 1848. Various parts were then added to it before being entirely re-built between 1900-1922. The International station was completed in time for the first Eurostars to commence running in 1994.

Three different Stagecoah liveries can be seen in this view - Network South East, South West Trains and a 'red and white' one that encourages you to drink red wine! In addition to Charing Cross (S/S.E) and Waterloo (S/SW) London has 11 other Main Line terminals :- Liverpool Street (NE of London/East Anglia), Fenchurch Street (East), Cannon Street (S.E), Blackfriars (S.E), London Bridge (S/S.E), Victoria (S/S.E), Paddington (S.W./West/Wales), Marylebone ( NW of London/Midlands), Euston (W.Midlands/N.West/Scotland), St.Pancras (Midlands/North), Kings Cross (E.Midlands/North & N.E./Scotland).

The canopy on the right shades one of several banks of LCD screens used to show depature information. The old clacker boards that used to perform this function are still in place and are visible on the extreme right of the image below the large "CHICAGO" advert, althoguh they are no longer in use.

The departures screens for London Waterloo East on the pedestrian bridge between Waterloo East and Waterloo (variously referred to as Waterloo Main and Waterloo Mainline on signs at Waterloo East). To prevent confusion between the main Waterloo station and those at Waterloo East, the platforms at the latter are lettered A, B, C and D rather than numbered as is conventional. Indeed, I'm not aware of any other station using letters as the primary platform designator, although giving letters to portions of platforms (e.g. 4A and 4B) is not uncommon.

It is expected that the 5 platforms will eventually be transfered to domestic services...but this is not going to happen quickly!
