Our train back to St. Pancras arrives at Stratford International. My wife and I travelled on this unidentified Class 395 Javelin for about ten minutes as it whisked us primarily through tunnels to St. Pancras working the 10.55 from Margate. I have to say that Stratford International station was a pretty soulless, semi-subterranean, dark and austere place constructed, it seemed, out of large chunks of white concrete. However, it was built as part of the development of the wider Stratford area in preparations for London 2012 so I suppose that it will have served its initial purpose back then.
