Traveling out of the new St Pancras train station on Eurostar this morning was so simple it was a pleasure (apart from the being there at 5 a.m. bit).
There’s been a lot of talk in the media about the new station’s champagne bar – reputedly the longest in Europe (like anyone was counting). Naturally, determined champagne lover though I am, it was a little early for me to be able to check that out.
However, I was hugely impressed by what has to be the first transport hub in the UK I’ve seen that’s been designed for the needs of the laptop age, to wit a very, very long bar with stools and loads of power sockets in European and UK formats.
Hurrah for St Pancras!
I’d like to see airports and other large train stations adopting features like this, and maybe there will be an end to laptop users furtively scanning the skirting boards of waiting rooms and cafes desperate for a hit of sweet screen-brightening power.
