"Queen to open St Pancras station" today

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? Robin |

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)? Paul |

St Pancras (the entire current complex) has, for a very long time, been run by London & Continental (I don't know for certain who will run the low level platforms). Midland MainLine's station licence for St Pancras expired on 6th June 2000. PhilD -- |

The ORR website has MML and Thameslink as access beneficiaries of L&C's St Pancras station, but L&C does not appear to be a station licence holder. PhilD -- |

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. |
