Who runs St Pancras station?

St Pancras International is a major London railway station. While many train operating companies use it, the station itself is owned and managed by HS1 Ltd, a private company. They are responsible for the infrastructure and day to day running, including responding to incidents like the one at St Pancras, working closely with police and train operators.
