Whilst the Barlow trainshed at St. Pancras is a superb structure that is a place to visit in its own right even if you are not actually taking a train, the Midland line station is not so impressive, it's just too 'slabby' and clinical, and that if you can actually get on it! The gateline is too small, as is the actual station, with staff herding passengers like animals into roped off channels that I find extremely irritating. Anyway, gripes aside, 222009 waits at the station to leave with the 15.29 to Nottingham. We took this 1D49 service to Wellingborough.
