"Queen to open St Pancras station" today
"Mizter T" wrote in message oups.com... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7080278.stm The other is that the surrounding roads are now open as of Saturday 3rd November (so the sign said). As far as I could see (but I may have got it wrong) Pancras Road is fully open for two-way traffic all the way from Euston Road up to the Goods Way / Camley Street junction, and Midland Road is open for one-way southbound traffic into Euston Road. The taxi rank is now on Midland Road, and that's now the taxi drop-off point as well (as opposed to the old location on Pancras Road). The southbound route from Goods Way is a taxi (and goods vehicle) only route for the Kings Cross rank which is now on the west of that station (the internal rank alongside KX platform 1 has been closed for a while. I took a walk up there last Saturday, and its remarkable how many car drivers didn't understand the signage, and found themselves in a queue of taxis , with a double white line on their offside! It looked to me as though taxis for St Pancras drop off in Pancras Rd, then could loop round under the station extension, to pick up in Midland Rd, at the west end of the domestic concourse, and there seems to be another pick up further down for Eurostar.
