I am currently stuck at St Pancras Station and will be for another 3 hours. Using the experience to educate myself I managed to have a wander around the terminal for Eurostar terminal a little. I am very impressed with the clean lines, smart structure and friendly atmosphere. However, after sitting for a while I realise that the initial reception hides the coldness that is the reality of this new building. The efficiency and speed of the place with the use of trains and high speed travel seems to have left the waiting customers in the cold. Perhaps the architect forgot that passengers may need to wait or may be delayed. However, overall the design is extremely well thought out, simple and quietly beautiful.
