Waterloo International Terminal becomes the responsibility of the Department for Transport in March 2008. The decision by Alistair Darling to retain the Terminal for domestic services was announced in October 2005. Since then developments have moved at a snails pace. One platform will be in use by December 2008 and the other four in 2012-14. Given the chronic overcrowding at Waterloo it is hard to understand why everyone has to walk past five empty platforms after many of their journeys had suffered delays. With no respite for another six years it’s not good enough that the promise to turn Waterloo’s old Eurostar platforms over to commuter use has been broken.
