There is (or used to be) an accessible inter-station bus, at Waterloo it
stopped at the entrance just outside Costa Coffee.
Can anyone  confirm that this bus still runs - a web search does not
find it.

Stationlink doesn't run any more, but there is the 59, which is rather
more direct and so a lot more use, and every 10 minutes or so instead
of once an hour.

You can catch it from the mini-bus-station-thingummy out of the "main
entrance" if you'd call it that and through the viaduct arches.  To me
it is the obvious way to do that journey if you have any amount of
luggage and aren't rushed off your feet, and you'll get to start the
journey with the beautiful view down the river from Waterloo Bridge
instead of the view of a brick wall.
