Oh, and last thing - unless I've got this one wrong St Pancras station
appears to have it's own logo - which is neither the Eurostar logo nor
the HS1 logo - it's black and white and I couldn't really work out
what it was supposed to depict but I could only find it on street
signs around the station rather than on the station itself.


My memory (faulty?) is that all the Network Rail run London stations have
a logo associated with them. Is this the logo you have seen?


No, because St. P ain't a Network Rail station and has hence never had
a Network Rail logo (in fact I think those logos used for Network
Rail's major stations were in fact inherited from Railtrack).


That was my thought initially, someone's posted a link to those logos in the
past, but at the moment St Pancras isn't run by NR. Was it before the
rebuild, or did MML run it like the other 'minor' stations such as
Marylebone (Chiltern) and Fenchurch St (c2c)?


I'm sure I've read that St Pancras station became the property of
London & Continental Railways at the time of privatisation - i.e. it
was handed over from BRB ownership directly to LCR in the mid 90's,
and hence has never been a Railtrack/ Network Rail owned station. How
it was managed on a day to day basis I can't say - I can only assume
that Midland Mainline (the TOC) was basically responsible for that
side of things.
