about St. Pancras

St. Pancras was first opened to traffic in 1868, the largest iron structure in the world until 1994 in developing the proposal for St.Pancras as an alternative to King's Cross, the government's decision to propose a new vision for St Pancras in 1994 and in 1996 provided outline planing permission for the CTRL.

The reference design contained outline proposal for St. Pancras station are using the basic for the environmental and also necessary to draw up some assumptions about how the project might be constructed, in order to assess its effects on the environment, required an elemental re-ordering of internal spaces, influence was critical, as was the creative rapport the established with English heritage.

The objectives to the design of St. Pancras was drawn by the London and Continental Station and Property (LCSP)

• To simplify passenger movement throughout the station.
• To maximize passenger convenience by providing a functional and user friendly station.
• To promote the railway business of LCR.

One of the things that I have found during my observation and my research is the way for choosing the colour scheme for the St Pancreas; it is all port’s coloure of the sky. It has to be said that on a sunny day the blue comes into its own and blends into the colour of sky, it would be appropriate if the blue was maintained and became known as St. Pancras Blue.
