Its all bi-directional with plenty of cross-overs. A couple of times when there's been a power problem or a failed train, I've been through the 'wrong' tunnel heading from Stratford Intl to St Pancras.

Unfortunately I think any complaints about the Olympic timetables are likely to fall on deaf ears at SouthEastern- the "Javelin" service was always about getting as many people on the 7 minute run between the Olympic park and St Pancras....sod the rest of us just trying to get around.

OP- I know its not ideal, but if its possible, what about driving to Ebbsfleet? Probably be home within the hour and heading the opposite way to the crowds.
I don't drive.

I thought you were supposed to be able to alter your tickets? I booked mine last night and chose Non HS1 for the return trip because I was going to come back via central London. Now I've found a way of getting back via Ebbsfleet and Greenhithe and I wanted to change my ticket to a +HS1 one so I could get to Ebbsfleet, but it won't let me make any changes.

What about paying the high speed tax, sorry "upgrade".

The difference in price of the tickets is about 40p, the High Speed upgrade is £2 something. I missed the train I was going to get anyway.
