The splendour of Victorian travel
[...]it was a very efficient and practical station. First came the great train shed (Fig 9), finished in 1868, designed by the engineers William Henry Barlow and R. M. Ordish (Country Life, June 25, 2008). The commission for the hotel and the other masonry structures integrated with the train shed was the result of a typically fudged competition: the railway clearly wanted its building to be designed by a famous architect, although the estimated cost of Scott's design exceeded the brief (in the event, a whole floor had to be lopped off). [...]the building was saved by the late Lord Kennet, then Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Housing & Local Government, who upgraded its listing from III to I. Thwarted, British Rail then sulked for a quarter of a century, and neglected what was called St Pancras Chambers before abandoning it altogether.

PREMIERSHIP 2000-01: Exclusive: The French moderniser: Red tide swamps the Orient: Will Pryce enjoyed a home away from home in Thailand
The passion for the Premier League runs much deeper than gambling, as the unveiling of David Beckham's statue at the central Buddha monument in the Wat Pariwas temple in Bangkok suggests. His floppy topped image was carved on the lower slopes of the monument, in a position reserved for minor deities. Pakdee Nuntiwajrind of Thai's Channel 3, which broadcast Euro 2000, explains: 'He has single- handedly changed the profile of the football fan. An entire female audience has been attracted to the game by his looks and his personality.' Beckham's grinning features are plastered over everything in Thailand from buses to beer mats. He and Michael Owen are as important as cultural icons as Thai pop and soap stars. But their hold over the Thai audience is partly as emblems of the teams they represent. On the third floor of the Discovery Building in Bangkok, the 'Star's Soccer' shop sells every conceivable fanzine and football video and a plethora of team kits and posters. Beckham and Owen (and with them United and Liverpool) dominate the sales. Both Liverpool and United's official supporter's magazines appear in Thai. Liverpool recently went one further by translating the title of the magazine itself into Thai. Anek Yongkhord of the shop Star's Soccer explains: 'I think this was a deliberate attempt on the part of Liverpool supporters in the face of the rise of Manchester United to remind people of their loyalty - that Liverpool is Thailand's team.'
