It sounds like a pretty poor way to force us into a new terminal

. I was happy at Waterloo, and they should have just stayed there until they were ready to offer a proper service. Even the pre-security service is crap based on my National rail experience this week.
Can we take liquids through the security at St. Pancras, or will we have to line up to pay premium prices with the other 300 people?
Will my Amex plat at least get me in to the lounge at the Paris end? Is the lounge any good?
