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?

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)?

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.

(Sorry, I forgot to add...)

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.

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).

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.
