A couple of Eurostar E320 trains, at the amazing St Pancras International Station, London, UK.
This was shot before i departed one one of these trains bound for Paris, can't get this type of shot unless your through departures.
I'd highly recommend travelling on the Eurostar if you want a comfortable and stress free trip to Europe, there are cheaper fares to be found if you rummage around. I travelled business class, so had a meal, complete with wine both out and inbound, beats easyjet hands down!
St Pancras International is well worth a visit even if your not travelling, one of the greatest buildings in the world.

From Wikipedia: "The largest municipal building in Kentish Town is the St Pancras public baths, opened in 1900, designed by T.W. Aldwinckle. The large complex originally had separate first and second class men's baths and a women's baths, along with a public hall. Little of the interior remains intact.... or so people thought. Apparently the builder whose job it was in the sixties to 'modernise' the interior could not bear to rip out the old tiles and other decorations. He told his men to put false walls in front of them to hide them, but not wreck the original. He concocted a spurious reason that decorative tiles that the council wanted replaced could not be taken off, offering to paint them instead. The baths were closed in January 2007 for refurbishment and re-opened at the end of July 2010.
This is one of my favourite London buildings it is the former Midland Grand Hotel completed in 1873 its now St Pancras Renaissance Hotel, it was erected across the front of St Pancras Station which was built between 1866 and 1868. This gothic masterpiece of a hotel was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, it was the last and most extravagant of the great railway hotels. It is one of Britain’s most celebrated Victorian structures and was heralded at the time as a grand destination for the age of steam. The station was designed by William Barlow, at the time it was the largest single span structure ever built. The hotel and station were threatened with demolition in the 1960s but were saved by preservationists led by the poet, Sir John Betjeman.
The whole complex underwent a 10 year restoration costing over £800 million it was reopened by Queen Elizabeth 11 in 2007 and its now the new home of the Eurostar.

I love St Pancras, it's quite stunningly beautiful, built in the Victorian Age, and now as intended when built a gateway to Europe.This part of the Station is the Midland Hotel (now the St. Pancras Renaissance London Hotel), and was designed by George Gilbert Scott in a style derived from the Italian gothic, and with numerous other architectural influences.
Gilbert Scott reused many of the design details from his earlier work at Kelham Hall designed in 1857 and completed in 1863, but on a much grander scale for St Pancras.
I loved the shadows and light here, the chap on his way home, just walked into the frame at the right moment, journey's end then :)

The church building was built in the 13th century. It is made of stone and flint rubble.[2] It comprises a nave, chancel, western tower, and south porch.[2] The building was damaged by lightning in 1865, and again in 1874.[2] It was designated Grade II* listed on 20 August 1965
Kingston by Lewes – St Pancras
The much restored aisleless church is mainly C14, but the western part of the chancel may have been C12 or earlier and at least the base of the tower is possibly C13.
Kingston lies in a valley running into the Downs on what is now almost the edge of Lewes and the dedication of the church is shared with the priory
A very average attempt at a hand held 'night shot' sees 47776 'Respected' stabled in the centre road at St Pancras with a mail train. I believe the clock under Barlow's trainshed roof says 8.15pm!!

The whole station was under threat from demolition in the 1970s but was fortunately saved and has become one of the best stations in the world!
