St Pancras InternationalYou are in: London > Travel > St Pancras International > Onboard at St Pancras  Onboard at St PancrasLess than one hundred days to go before the Queen opens Eurostar's new home at St Pancras and BBC London is given exclusive access to the refurbished station - and the chance to travel the new high-speed line. Six years after work started in 2001, St Pancras has been restored and modernised at a cost of £800m. Modernising the station was more than just about making it look pretty or providing prime retail space. It was part of a much larger project – High Speed 1.
At £5.8bn, High Speed 1 is the UK's largest construction project in history and the first major railway project for 100 years. 100 km of track has been laid from the Channel Tunnel to St Pancras station and at 186mph the trains along this route will be the fastest in the UK.
