Wow, things are improving (makes you wonder though how you could open
a brand new station and forget to get something like this to work
properly).

But they did get the *really* important stuff done, like deciding that
the lady in the kissing statute shouldn't have ankle straps on her
shoes.

we went to a place before our Eurostar trip (a place that
does loads of different types of bread, forget the name) and the
service was slow and it was expensive. To be fair, it was very tasty
indeed and we had time to kill, but anyone wanting to grab some food
to go will not be satisfied at St Pancras!

I got reports yesterday evening, from someone waiting about an hour for
a train at St Pancras, that the whole place was freezing cold. When the
larger bistros are open perhaps there will be somewhere warm to hang
out, but at the moment (and "hello!" the station was always planned to
be opening in November) it has a very "outdoors" feel to it. And this
for somewhere they want to make into a meeting place...
