Channel Tunnel Rail Link section 2: St Pancras International station

St Pancras International station is the jewel in the crown of the £5.8 billion Channel Tunnel Rail Link project - now known as High Speed 1. It replaces Waterloo as home for the UK Eurostar service, which now arrives in continental Europe 15 minutes quicker thanks to completion of the final second section of the project. This paper describes its design and construction, which included a painstaking refurbishment and extension of the 140 year old Barlow-designed train shed as well as creation of new state-of-the-art international station facilities.
