		I,ve been to St Pancras and travelled on MML alot but next time i go it won't be the same it is a shame to modernise the station if the roof and floor were cleaned and platforms made longer it wold be fine.

		St Pancras is to become a new terminal for the Channel Tunnel Rail Link and that means changes for the rail services going to London from the East Midlands.

	Guardian Unlimited Arts critics St Pancras station's facelift
		In short, this is the plan: from 2007, St Pancras station, expanded from eight to 13 platforms, will be the principal London terminus for Eurostar trains scything through the North Downs, under the Thames and by means of viaducts and tunnels to North Pole Junction, the Regent's Canal and Barlow's train shed.
		A revived St Pancras will lead on to the rebuilding and restoration of King's Cross station next door, and to the wider regeneration, already under way, of the local area.
		All this is a formidable undertaking; but so, too, were St Pancras station and the Grand Midland when they were built in the muscular years of the Gothic Revival.

		The station is entered through an imposing archway under a 55 ft. wide tower.

	Bechtel Briefs—July 2005—Gothic Revival
		The building described by historian Jack Simmons is St. Pancras railway station, which upon its completion in 1868 became the largest enclosed structure in the world.
		(The station was within days of demolition before a last-minute effort to preserve it succeeded.) High-speed rail might have finally razed St. Pancras, but instead it is giving the station new life as the grand London hub for 300-kilometer-per-hour Eurostar trains to Paris and Brussels via the Channel Tunnel.
		Since it was completed 137 years ago, St. Pancras has survived the birth of the automobile, World War II air raids, and an appointment with the wrecking ball in the 1960s.

	St. Pancras Station, London
		The station entrance for cabs and carriages is on the west side of the station from Euston-rd, whence also on the east side a subway for foot passengers only leads at a sharp incline up to the end platform, connecting the departure with the arrival side.
		Each girder is broad at the base, tapering gradually as it bends over to meet its fellow, and the whole station is thus simply a vast roof springing directly from the ground, the brick walls at the side being in fact mere screens of no structural value in the way of support.
