LPPC DSL BW 0504 The signalbox at St Pancras station was an anachronism that remained for some time when most London terminals’ signalling arrangements were generally being updated to eliminate the need for such structures. Here in the early 1970s, the 06.50 from Derby is arriving headed by the inevitable Sulzer Type 4 Peak Class 45 number 45140 after its sprint up from Kettering. The wagon lift to the undercroft, seen on Page 6, can more clearly be seen on the right. Behind and below the signalbox is the area that was once the vast Somers Town Goods Yard, now the British Library and from which, creating much excitement, in May 1969 a Vertical Take Off RAF Harrier jet aircraft landed and took off to break the New York to London journey time record.
