Full steam ahead for "most technologically advanced train station in the world"...
By Tim Ferguson, 8 October 2007 10:01
This shows the southern end of the St Pancras Barlow train shed and its famous clock.
The clock in place at the moment is actually a temporary copy but is due to be replaced by a full size replica of the original before the official opening.
The new clock will be electrically operated and will be wirelessly linked to the national atomic clock at Anthorn in Cumbria as well as the other clocks in the stations.

It's unfortunate that the creeping americanisation of our language has been allowed to give this magnificent edifice the incorrect title of "train station".
St Pancras, along with all other such buildings, is a RAILWAY STATION.

What's the point of having the most technologically advanced railway station, if the only things arriving at it are the current trains running on an appalingly bad railway infrastructure?
