Waterloo sunset

With the champagne and hype overflowing for the new St Pancras international station, it's easy to overlook another more poignant side of the high-speed continental rail link - the closure of Britain's first international rail terminal.

The last Eurostar train out of Waterloo will leave later, almost exactly 13 years after the first.
