The first Eurostar left Waterloo on 14 November 1994 and the last will depart at 1812 GMT on 13 November 2007.

The terminal will remain in Eurostar's hands for the next six months before it is handed over to the Department for Transport.

"We are working with DfT to bring Waterloo into full domestic use," said a spokesman for Network Rail.

He said there would be a phased introduction of regional services , starting from November 2008.

Eurostar is preparing to move to St Pancras International from Wednesday (14/11/2007.)

The first train out of St Pancras on Wednesday will be a VIP service to Paris Gard du Nord , leaving at 1101 GMT.

The first fare-paying service leaves for Brussels at 1104 GMT.

And it could cost a further £500,000 a year to keep the "wider facilities" at Waterloo International safe and secure.
