An International Rail Station

Tweet

Hunting around for a place to have a cup, I ended up in London's Saint Pancras station, the UK's only international railway terminal... at the moment. Well, not really, there are a couple more along the route to the Channel Tunnel. When, and if, Britain's exit from the European Union happens, who knows what is on the cards, international train station wise. I quite enjoy strolling through the terminal and seeing the arrivals board, with trains from 'exotic' cities. 'Course, being the UK the trains are still running late. Wouldn't be British, would it! Dotted around the station are pianos and the two I saw were both being tickled by people who could actually play. A nice change from the enthusiastic, but untalented, six year old you normally find. They have already banned performances of Shakespeare on the escalators, along with pushchairs and heavy luggage. I think I shall miss the Bard most of all as I rise to the champagne bar, before sampling the bright lights of Paris
