Using my wide-angled lens I have taken this interesting interior view of St. Pancras station showing it undergoing some restoration to the frame and glazing. At this time British Rail simply did not have the resources to undertake the full-blown restoration of the vast Barlow designed trainshed hence their efforts very much took a 'finger in the dyke' approach. The 14.07 from Derby has just arrived at platform two whilst a Class 127 DMU waits to leave platform one for Bedford. Notice that some wag has removed the letter C from the branding of the Mk. 2 coach in the foreground perhaps as part of schoolboy attempt to add an erroneous letter T perhaps?
