Its December 2007; does anyone know why the Arcade at St Pancras isn't
finished yet?

The BBC mini series on St Pancras International showed that the station
was handed over on time for fitting out. However the fitting out
contractors were running many weeks behind schedule and only just got
the Eurostar part of the terminal ready for 14 November. As the station
is now operational there is much less flexibility and working time
available. While some units can be fitted out behind hoardings there may
be elements of the work that are now only possible during night
engineering hours.

That, plus the main cash is paid over. No need for the fitters to get their
arse into gear.

Expect the final 'tweaks' to last months.
