This BBC article has details of the new high speed Eurostar service.
Eurostar is set to make its inaugural journey from Paris to London via a new 186mph (300km/h) high-speed line.
The train - carrying members of the media - will also arrive into St Pancras International station, instead of Waterloo, for the first time.
The new line is expected to cut journey times from Paris to London by 20 minutes to 2hr 15min. It will open to the public on 14 November.
Eurostar to achieve higher speeds in UK
At last we can travel the same speeds in the UK as they can in Europe. Between London and the Channel Tunnel anyway.
I wonder how long it will be before we can travel to Glasgow or Edinburgh at these speeds?
