travelling to Cheltenham today, weirdly seems they are not running any of the Pad-chelt trains to Gloucester (for people to take the 94 bus to Cheltenham), making the least changes route via Worcester annoyingly
depends what the cost of boosting capacity at st Pancras is
also would allow you too run smaller but more frequent North of London trains (and enable choice of onwards connection, e.g. one Manchester train could carry Eurostar passengers to Brussels and Virgin passengers to Paris)
tracks are not an issue at STP, only passenger processing so could a feeder service work?
e.g. a few locations that can process channel tunnel passengers that then all have "airside" trains that head too st Pancras for transfer too Eurostar/Virgin/Trentalia? kind of like how there are feeder...
so any clue if Virgin or Eurostar will accept the passengers of the other during disruptions?
at the moment its simple to put people on the next Eurostar if delayed (e.g. long security checks) but what happens of the next train is a Virgin train?
you could get dual use out of a Generator car if you used a DVT for it like what Chiltern did with its Mk3 sets, removes one of the Class 92's needed for Euston and Glasgow Moves

seems like its been fixed now, that blog did have a list of issues but since gone...
it makes sense when you realise ICE 4 wern't originally going to be ICE's and instead be IC's under the ICx project
ICE 4's for the long distance 200km/h IC routes
IC 2's for the slower Interregio routes IC's took over when IR was axed
same story with ECx becoming ICE-L
