The 0805 to St Pancras International

I was on it - the first ever 0805 Eurostar train from Brussels Midi to London St Pancras International on 15th November, the 2nd day of operation of the new high speed line. The line itself is relatively unexciting - a quick dip in a tunnel under the Thames at Ebbsfleet, a scoot through Dagenham, and then into a tunnel between Barking and St Pancras. The station itself is fabulous, as these pictures show.
