It beggars belief that anyone – particularly the artist himself — could have thought that a bronze frieze of a commuter falling in front of train driven by the Grim Reaper would be appropriate for St Pancras station. While the banal sculpture of a man and woman embracing, also by Paul Day, is just bad the suicide sculpture is shocking. Now, after complaints from the Samaritans, train drivers and families of people who have killed themselves, the frieze will not be installed.
