St Pancras International .. night before opening

"I went back to St Pancras the night before it was due to open to the public on 13th November, hoping to see the statue of Sir John Betchaman. The trouble was this was in a section not open till the 14th. Twas ever thus." The roof was astonishing, painted in a light blue. Vast.

The station still looks a building site as in the BBC2 series. The contractors are around - how did you manage to get in? Or did someone forget to close it off to the public? The Tannoy announcements are still as poor as 30 years ago!
