Something's going on at St Pancras station

[cojak]

It's just been shut 'due to overcrowding'.

What a load of cack. I've practically lived there for the last year and it copes with anything.

Something's happened (or there's intell that something might happen), you mark my words...

Yep, and the picture is an accurate reflection of the hordes shoving to get in when I looked half an hour ago

Leeds station was closed for that reason a couple of months ago. A signal failure just before the evening rush hour meant that ALL trains were cancelled.
Police ended up pulling the gates across the entrance

I get nostalgic about St Pancras station. It reminds me of Saturdays on my way to football as a lad.

I had a couple of beers with Eric Sykes in the bar there about 20 years ago. I bought the first, he bought the second.

Fab. What were you doing there with him?

I'm going back to the BedPan days before the Brighton connection was re-opened. It had 7 platforms and was very dark.

Only time I've seen any problems was when Gatwick & Heathrow were closed due to snow and everyone diverted to StP to try and get on a Eurostar meaning queues around the block!

Even then the station was open and domestic services ran

This was before he was "too" deaf. I was stood next to him at the bar, didn't realise who he was until I ordered a pint and he said "I recognise that accent!" I turned round looked at him and said something like "Bloody hell, Eric Sykes! Fancy a pint?" - He was born in my home town but we'd never met before. We had a couple of beers and chewed the fat, two "Northeners Abroad" as it were.

All in all a pleasant interlude while waiting for a train.

I had a similar thing happen to me, but with Norman Tebbit.

Just checked, and Eric Sykes is still alive. Age 88.
I thought he would have been dead years ago..
