Similar problem for me. I need to catch the 21:42 from St. Pancras otherwise I'll miss a connection. Nothing like a 21st century rail network!

Cheers,

You're right - absolutely nothing like a 21st century rail network... :(

Or maybe it is. Rail is 19th Century technology, just as 'personal transport' in the form of cars is 20th Century. The trouble is 21st Century transport isn't actually here yet :(

St. Pancras
I read this as "St. Pancreas"... :roll:

My first thought was that there's apparently a saint for everything, my second that they must be really hard put for station names in London. :D
