    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 night before the first services run from the new St Pancras, the last trains will run from Waterloo International - 13 years after the first fare-paying Eurostar passengers set off from London to Paris in a blaze of publicity.
