There's a clue on the platform at Woodlesford Station, near Leeds on the old Midland London - Glasgow line, I've no idea what the mileage is these days as this section of the Midland Main Line has been relegated to secondary traffic, and a few miles further the stretch from Goose Hill Junction, Normanton to Wath was closed and removed in the late '80's.
Unusually diverted on its old route is a Sunday morning East Midlands Leeds to St Pancras HST, diverted via Barnsley due to engineering works on its normal route into Sheffield.
Working 1C43 the 10:50 Leeds to St Pancras.

We had a trip to London in January (yes I know I seem to be behind as usual) with some friends. Main purpose was to see the Ansel Adams exhibition at the Maritime Museum and William Klein ' / Moriyami at Tate Modern. The Adams was outstanding, the Klein I thought provoking and the Moriyami missable!
These are views of the now justly famous St Pancras Station.
It's those gasholders again, viewed from the Regents Canal, July 1985. Goods Way is away to the left, and the new Granery Square is behind the camera to the right.

A shot taken at St Pancras International today, as I passed through. It was taken at first light, so not ideal. Shot on Leica X, processed in Lightroom 5.

Ormai l'avete capito.... ho una visione un pò diversa delle cose. Questa è la "mia" stazione di St. Pancras a Londra. O almeno quello che mi ha colpito di più nella sua architettura!
By now you understand .... I have a slightly different view of things. This is "my" St. Pancras station in London. Or at least what struck me most in the architecture!
St Pancras Station was opened in 1868 and is one of the wonders of Victorian engineering. Along with the former Midland Grand Hotel, it is a masterpiece of Victorian Gothic Architecture and one of the most elegant stations in the World. It has recently been refurbished to accommodate international train services; its history is a remarkable tale of decay, restoration and spectacular rebirth.

El primer lugar en el que pusimos pie en Londres fue, literalmente, mágico. Esto es St. Pancras, una estación de trenes ubicada justo al lado de King's Cross, otra estación que ha sido parte importante en los libros y películas de Harry Potter. Como grandes fanáticos (si, no tenemos nada por lo que disculparnos), no había mejor manera en que esta ciudad nos recibiera.

The Euston Road in London has three major railway stations , Kings Cross, Euston Station and St Pancras . The first two have unremarkable exteriors but London St Pancras is a Victorian jewel . Much of the building now comprises the St Pancras Hotel
The station was constructed by the Midland Railway , which had an extensive network across the Midlands and the North of England, but no dedicated line into London. After rail traffic problems following the 1862 International Exhibition, the Midland Railway decided to build a connection from Bedford to London with their own terminus. The station was designed by William Henry Barlow and constructed with a single-span iron roof. Following the station's opening on 1 October 1868, the Midland Railway constructed the Midland Grand Hotel on the station's façade, which has been widely praised for its architecture and is now a Grade I listed building along with the rest of the station.
By the 1960s, St Pancras was seen as redundant, and several attempts were made to close it and demolish the hotel (by then known as St Pancras Chambers). These attempts provoked strong and successful opposition, with the campaign led by the later Poet Laureate, John Betjeman along with the Victorian Society the campaign was instrumental in its preservation Many of the demonstrators had witnessed the demolition of the nearby Euston Arch a few years previously, and were strongly opposed to the distinctive architecture of St Pancras suffering the same fate. The station became Grade I listed building in November 1967, preventing any drastic modifications.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH.
ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED
The St. Pancras Hotel is a hotel in London, forming the frontispiece of St Pancras railway station. It was designed by George Gilbert Scott and opened in 1873. The building as a whole including the apartments is known as St Pancras Chambers and between 1935 and the 1980s was used as railway offices.

St Pancras railway station, also known as London St Pancras or St Pancras International and officially since 2007 as London St Pancras International, is a central London railway terminus on Euston Road in the London Borough of Camden. It is the terminus for Eurostar services from Belgium, France and the Netherlands to London. It provides East Midlands Railway services to Leicester, Corby, Derby, Sheffield and Nottingham on the Midland Main Line, Southeastern high-speed trains to Kent via Ebbsfleet International and Ashford International, and Thameslink cross-London services to Bedford, Cambridge, Peterborough, Brighton, Horsham and Gatwick Airport. It stands between the British Library, the Regent's Canal and London King's Cross railway station, with which it shares a London Underground station, King's Cross St Pancras.
The station was constructed by the Midland Railway (MR), which had an extensive rail network across the Midlands and the North of England, but no dedicated line into London. After rail traffic problems following the 1862 International Exhibition, the MR decided to build a connection from Bedford to London with its own terminus. The station was designed by William Henry Barlow and constructed with a single-span iron roof. Following the station's opening on 1 October 1868, the MR constructed the Midland Grand Hotel on the station's façade, which has been widely praised for its architecture and is now a Grade I listed building along with the rest of the station.
In the late 1960s, plans were made to demolish St Pancras entirely and divert services for King's Cross and Euston, leading to fierce opposition. The complex underwent an £800 million refurbishment to become the terminal for the Channel Tunnel Rail Link/High-Speed 1/HS1 as part of an urban regeneration plan across East London, which was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in November 2007. A security-sealed terminal area was constructed for Eurostar services to mainland Europe via High Speed 1 and the Channel Tunnel, with platforms for domestic trains to the north and south-east of England. The restored station has 15 platforms, a shopping centre, and a coach facility. London St Pancras International is owned by HS1 Ltd and managed by Network Rail (High Speed), a subsidiary of Network Rail.
