In Abingdon in the late 90s, I used to buy the Daily Mail on a Saturday for the weekly TV guide, as it was the only paper that had the correct regions (BBC South East and Central for ITV).

At the moment, on a weekday the last train from Brussels gets into St Pancras at 21:57. It would help to have another one an hour later than that. Then you would be able to have a working day for a lot more of Germany, whilst being able to get back to London the same day.
