Re: How do you pronounce 'Pancras'?
in reply to a message by Mena
More like PAN-cris. The emphasis is on the first syllable - just like the thing you fry the fish in - so the vowel in the second syllable becomes less distinct. The station as a whole (!) would be sin PAN cris, or maybe sint PAN cris. But then the t would be very hard to hear.
