Since a couple of weeks mysterious activities have been going on in the old Waterloo Eurostar terminal.

Lots of construction workers, speaker stacks, funky lights, what looks like new flooring to cover the platforms and old railway tracks… Difficult to spy efficiently from our officewindows though.

Eurostar terminal in Waterloo with mysterious screens

What are they preparing?

Funky club venue with unrivalled  location for convenient public transport?

Eurostar revival, allowing us yet again to have the lovely feeling of knowing we work less than three hours away from Paris?

Opening of a new railway line to ease morning train congestion?

No… Probably not. That would be too good. Today a wall of flat screens lit up on the far wall, and we can hear soundchecking. Our best collaborative effort guess is a product launch for an Italian car (check the screens, a car whizzing past on flat panels of green / white / red…) that will be coming over from mainland Europe to the UK.

Careening up the tracks.

Arrived.
