Fine When Simmons wrote the original book - based on a lecture given in 1965 - the future for St Pancras station and its hotel looked bleak. The hotel had been shut for more than 30 years, and both buildings were threatened with demolition. That first edition was instrumental in ensuring that the station was saved, and this second edition marked the news that the new Channel Tunnel rail link would terminate in a refreshed and enlarged station. Now St Pancras is one of London's best known and best loved landmarks. Sadly Jack Simmons didn't live to see the results of his work, but he just as much as John Betjeman deserve credit for ensuring that it happened.
