Default St Pancras Vault

I went to St Pancras today and saw that brilliant huge vault of blue
metal...
But wait!
Is that vault from the old St Pancras?
It does NOT look new!

Yes, it is the original St Pancras train shed, designed by William Barlow,
which has been brilliantly restored. When built in 1868, it was the largest
single-span structure in the world.
