Side_view_of_original_STP_trainshed.jpg (138688 bytes)

For once, here is a picture of the western side of the original trainshed at STP beside the British Library. The original side structure had been demolished, with a new structure being built (steelwork becoming prominent) to replace it as a result of the need for a change in layout come 2007. In the mid horizon you may also spot the new interim station. As I was walking along the street, a construction worker repeatedly told me there was no authorised access along the street, in spite of me telling him I knew exactly that, although to be fair it was from a distance. The picture was taken on Sunday 29th August 2004 using a Kodak Easyshare DX6440, and anyone who wishes to use this photo must first seek permission from Edward Sloley via edward.sloley@ntlworld.com

Although this picture shows a variety of things, with rusty ECML catenary in the immediate foreground, this pic was taken for one reason - to reveal a side-view of STP from a distance. Funnily enough, the tallest object in the immediate skyline is the one remaining gasholder.

Now although this is not one of our best pictures... it is an interesting one! What you are looking at here is a station ON TOP of a station. The concourse is for the new but temporary St.Pancras terminus. The canopy of the old original station can clearly be seen in the background. Underneath where I am standing work is being carried out on transforming the old station for the arrival of Eurostars in we think 2007. This will then become their new London terminus and Waterloo International will probably go over to domestic services. Pictured on August 20th 2004.
