	tetsu inoue: waterloo terminal
		The Channel Tunnel Railway Terminal at Waterloo is the gateway to the high speed rail tunnel beneath the English Channel that connects England with Paris.
		It is as if the station itself were given voice, which Tetsu then shaped by altering pitch, timbre, resonance and rhythm, creating a linear collage born from his artistic interpretation of the architecture itself.
		With an average travel time of three hours from start to finish, the Eurostar rail service based in the Waterloo Terminal provides an attractive alternative to the prospect of journeying out to distant Heathrow Airport only to encounter all the attendant delays that seem inescapable in the operation of air traffic.

	Waterloo International Terminal by Nicholas Grimshaw
		The International Terminal is at the west end of the station concourse at Waterloo Station.
		In contrast to more recent complex curved glass roofs, such as Grimshaw's own Eden Project or Norman Foster's British Museum courtyard, the Waterloo roof was designed to use standard-size glass sheets, which overlap and use a concertina joint to accommodate the dual curve of the roof-arch and the track.
		The length of the trains and the curve of the five new tracks dedicated to the Eurostar service at the side of the existing station determined the geometry of the new building, including the distinctive roof.

		The Waterloo International concourse is at a level below that of the main station, however the view from the main concourse towards the international platforms is obscured.

		Today there are platform capacity problems in the station and South West Trains have launched plans to build a new pedestrian concourse at a high level and then lengthen the platforms into the existing concourse to permit trains of the same number of cars as present but of the newer 23 metre car length.

		Wife and I will be at Marble Arch tube station and we have to get to Waterloo station before 11:15 am on July 11.
		I don't know about a cab to Waterloo, but I recently took a cab from Victoria Station to Marble Arch and that was just under 10 pounds.
		Go for the cab (although the tube trip is very simple....central line 2 stops to Oxford Circus and switch to Bakerloo line directly to Waterloo but I can't imagine carting 2 suitcases and a suiter piece through the corridors...now if it was me travelling alone well that would be a different story.
