Description
"St Pancras Station is the most famous railway terminus in Britain. Built by the Midland Railway in 1866-76, it combines a vast single-arched trainshed with a frontage building and hotel in the most magnificent Gothic style. As one contemporary said when it opened, 'the harmony that is apparent in all parts of this great work is a practical proof...of the advantages that accrue from the united workings of architects and engineers'." "This book was first published in 1968, when the future of St Pancras Station was in doubt. Described by John Betjeman as 'readable, learned and inspiring', it was instrumental in the campaign to save the station. Combining architectural, social and railway history, it provides a comprehensive biography of the station from the first designs to its subsequent use." "Now the future of St Pancras is secure and it is to be the new London terminus of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link. For this republication of Simmons' classic work, the engineering and transport historian Robert Thorne had added to the original text and provided a new chapter bringing the story up to date."--BOOK JACKET.
