St Pancras

[textmum]

Is St Pancras International Station and St Pancras National Rail station the same station. I need to travel to Loughborough and have never been to these stations before. I need to walk from Kings Cross Thameslink. can anyone help. Thanks

According to google they seem to be the same,the international part is because eurostar are departing from the station

They are in the same building.

It's quite a long walk from the Thameslink station

Kings X Thameslink is a couple of hundred yards away. They're replacing it with a St Pancras Thameslink at the end of the year, I think

We wont have much to carry, so could probably walk it, or would we be better getting a tube to Kings Cross or is there an underground at St Pancras?

[dzug]

There are currently 4 stations, all fairly close

1 Kings Cross St Pancras underground
2. Kings Cross Thameslink
3 Kings Cross mainline
4 St Pancras mainline and Eurostar - the latter actually not open until the Autumn

If you are arriving at Kings Cross Thameslink (presumably from sarf of the river) you might be better if your ticket allows it to stay on the train and change to the Loughborough train at Luton or Bedford. A lot less walking.

Just to follow on, the Kings Cross/St Pancras underground is all one , but as St Pancras is undergoing major renovation at present, there is no underground walkway connecting the Tube to the mainline.
To walk from Thameslink to St Pancras would take around 10 minutes (depends how quickly you can get across the road). To walkfrom the Tube to St Pancras takes approximately 8 minutes (depending on how much of a hurry I'm in).
Have a safe trip./

Thank you for your help, I have already bought tickets online for St Pancras to Loughborough, but will bear in mind changing at Luton in future. We are travelling from the South, and changing at London Bridge for the Kings Cross train.
