Thanks, Philippe, and for the reminiscences. I used to travel from Paddington
to boarding school aboard a steam train (63/64?) and I love trains. But I'm
quite keen on what they have done with St Pancras; and King's Cross is shaping
up nicely now as well, although I did see some of the older structure at the
end of a platform today and I wondered if they would try and preserve them.
