A sculpture designed to become an iconic feature of St Pancras International was unveiled on Monday.
"The Meeting Place" by Paul Day takes pride of place on a plinth beneath the central London station's new clock.
Depicting a couple in a "timeless embrace", the 30ft-high (9m) sculpture "reflects the romance that train travel used to have," Mr Day said.
The work is modelled on the sculptor and his half-French wife and was originally to be of the couple kissing.
But London and Continental Railways, which commissioned it, thought the pose too risquι- so the statue shows the two lovers touching foreheads as they embrace.
It is very "Brief Encounter" !
