Does any member know what is to become of the disused depot opposite Old Oak Common and what are the latest proposals for Waterloo Eurostar station?

North Pole depot is believed to be the first choice as an IEP depot for FGW (or successor) with a Crossrail depot to be built on the site of their current HST depot. Waterloo International may be used for SWT services, with platform 20 possibly available from 2014 (with access from platform 19). Using the other platforms will be difficult because of lack of direct access from the rest of the station, or the street, but there is a possibility that it could be used for ScotRail sleepers during disruption to Euston traffic during works for HS2.
