Anyone who has ever legged it down a platform before hearing that dreaded, day-ruining, door-closing beep will know that train stations aren’t traditionally places of light-hearted mirth. Kudos, then, to whichever bright spark at Southeastern decided to spend today changing all references to St Pancras to ‘St Pancake’ in honour of the tasty Shrove Tuesday celebrations.
Here’s how London reacted to the prank…
The @Se_Railway “St Pancake station” is great! 😂😂

However we must spare a thought for those that have been up all night constructing the replica St Pancras railway station from nothing but Eggs, Flour & Milk. #pancakes #PancakeDay #ShroveTuesday pic.twitter.com/fo5xeovFDj

They’ve even installed a pancake-making stall at the station itself: proof that a little bit of batter can lighten anyone’s spirits.
