That station frontage looks a bit like St Pancras used to be but I don't think it's there?

The story is told on this wiki page... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montparnasse_derailment

This is a fascinating recreation for a multi-oscar winning Movie directed by Martin Scorcese.
Moving pictures

A recreation of it for the film "Hugo"

There are many lovely signal boxes on the Newcastle-Carlisle line. This one is no exception and could be one of the best but its looking a bit neglected.

Hope that one's preserved very soon. Being mounted on that plinth makes it very special...

The other station buildings look like they have been given a bit of a spruce up. Not so the old characteristic water tower which seems to have gone backwards from when it had a function as a cafe and a shop a few years ago.
