St Pancras International has twinned with Grand Central Terminal in New York in the first transatlantic station twinning agreement.
St Pancras was decked out in stars and stripes yesterday to celebrate the partnership which will see the pair share learnings and host themed events.
Wendy Spinks, commercial director of HS1 International ltd (owners of St Pancras International) said: “To be the first UK train station to partner with a US station is a significant moment for us. Grand Central Terminal was one of the inspirations behind our own refurbishment so this partnership further solidifies our already close bond. The station is heralded across the world for its stunning architecture and fantastic facilities so it is a perfect match for St Pancras International.”
The stations have a similar feeling and history with both staying open in the mid-1960s after public support.
