At the moment Stratford International is .. er.. not International. Costs of putting in border controls etc have always been prohibitive before particularly as only 10mins from St. Pan .. be interesting to see what has changed.
Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan
@MayorofLondonOct 8
Stratford is one of Europe’s great regeneration success stories. It’s ready for its next chapter - European rail links. I’m proud to say I’m working with the government to deliver new cross-Channel trains from East London. The benefits would be felt far beyond our city. cityam.com/sadiq-khan-run-in…

Sadiq Khan: Run international trains from Stratford instead of expanding Heathrow

With more Brits supporting increasing international rail over expanding airports, connecting Stratford to Europe is a no-brainer, writes Sadiq Khan.

TfL confirms it will apply for DLR extension to Thamesmead in early 2027 (link to article in reply below) The third and final consultation on the proposed DLR extension to Thamesmead has, unsurprisingly, favoured building it.

RMT members at Chiltern Railways are to strike on Saturdays 10 and 17 October as they object to Chiltern introducing East West Rail services without guards. Union says this is a risk to current guards’ jobs.

On Euston Rush: If you give people more time to get to their trains before departure doesn’t that mean fewer services (and revenue) ? I can’t imagine there’s many trains just sitting there doing nothing ..

This is really interesting & shows how weak the deals with the councils really are. They are not binding at all. Tfl want to regulate the companies and I suspect this will speed that up.

Context: NATS is a public private partnership. Part owned by Govt & the big airlines (BA easyJet) and also Heathrow. Ie Ryanair / Wizz have a freerer hand in criticising ..

When Wizz say the problems are “systemic” you could argue that this is what they mean and there is no accountability and it’s all too cosy.
