I remember reading years ago a suggest that it be called St Pancras
British Musuem.

British Library maybe?

The new underground station at St Pancras for Thameslink services is usually
referred to as 'Midland Road' in the various documentation available on the
web.

However - does it actually need a separate name when it comes into use?


Probably does need a single name when it comes into public use - but
the two names might have been in legal use at least for now because
there are 2 projects there - one of which has been overtaken by the
other.


While the whole of TL2000 continues to be stalled, the new St Pancras
station for that stand alone project pre-dates by a very long margin
anything to do with rebuilding the main Stancras station for CTRL and
European services.

I am fairly certain that before CTRL came along, there was no plan to
rebuild the main station undercroft [or if there was, it was not for
rail passenger facilities] and SP Midland Road was (in the main) to be
a seperate station - possibly with some kind of direct subway access -
rather like KX Thameslink is also a seperate entity but connected by
passages if one counts going via the tube lines.

Then along came CTRL embracing MML and CTRL-DS as well as Eurostar and
the complete rebuild added into the TL2000 idea of the new low level
Thameslink station. Almost certainly this has a different planning
permission and/or other legal or documented name. Two projects with
two names than have combined.

Thats only my suggestion why there are 2 names to date, and does not
answer the valid point about what the names will be or could be when
the whole complex is open.

But this won't stop someone calling them 6Jav soon - or even 6Jap.

I think you could have just coined a phrase there, Nick


Well possibly )


The -ap bit has a SR connection - 2Hap - and Kent certainly has major
association with the 2Hap fleet even though the -a and the p have no
common meaining.

And again the were 6Pan (so now 6 ja-Pan) , 6Jap could also mean Japan
And Pancras (6 jap-pan) and so on, there are several possibilites
here.

Might provide some amusement for uk.railway debates in the 22nd
century when someone asks what 20th/21st century SR EMU acronyms
meant.


I have to add 'Jap' is not a term I would normally use myself - but I
can't help feeling it is an obvious one that might come into common
parlance.

Why not just "London St. Pancras"? It's effectively the same station
(cf Merseyrail).

St. Pancras Midland Road is the "project name", as it were.

Surely it should be St Pancras Pancras Road.

I was thinking that, considering King's Cross platforms 9-11 aren't
given a special name even though they're away from the main platforms.

You have King's Cross St Pancras for the underground, come upstairs
and go to King's Cross OR St Pancras. How complicated is that? Once in
either station, you go for the platform required by following the
signs or looking at a map. Why confuse things with another station,
which will be the same as we have now with King's Cross Thameslink!
