St Pancras railway station
St Pancras railway station ( or ), also known as London St Pancras and since 2007 as St Pancras International,〔(Official name of the station according to the Department of Transport ), released in response to a Freedom of Information Act request at Whatdotheyknow.com retrieved 2 December 2008. 〕〔(Official name of the station according to the London Borough of Camden ) released in response to a Freedom of Information Act request at Whatdotheyknow.com. Retrieved 2 December 2008.〕 is a central London railway terminus and Grade I listed building located on Euston Road in the London Borough of Camden.
Widely known for its Victorian architecture, the station stands between the British Library, King's Cross station and the Regent's Canal. It was opened in 1868 by the Midland Railway as the southern terminus of its main line which connected London with the East Midlands and Yorkshire. When it opened, the arched Barlow train shed was the largest single-span roof in the world.
After escaping planned demolition in the 1960s, the complex was renovated and expanded from 2001 to 2007 at a cost of £800 million with a ceremony attended by Queen Elizabeth II and extensive publicity introducing it as a public space. A security-sealed terminal area was constructed for Eurostar services to continental Europe via High Speed 1 and the Channel Tunnel, with platforms for domestic trains to the north and south-east of England. The restored station has 15 platforms, a shopping centre and a coach facility, and is served by London Underground's King's Cross St. Pancras station. St Pancras is owned by HS1 and is managed by Network Rail (High Speed), a subsidiary of Network Rail.
