Britain has finally found the rail infrastructure it has been craving for years. The all new High Speed 1 line was put through it's paces earlier this month, with the inaugural journey between Paris Gare du Nord and the new St. Pancras International station in London.
With a train packed with journalists and VIPs, Eurostar were proud to announce that they broke the record for the fastest ever train
journey between London and Paris.A typical journey time between London and Paris takes around 2 hours 40 minutes, but using the High Speed 1 line, Eurostar made the journey in 2 hours, 3 minutes and 39 seconds. Eurostar were aiming for a sub 2 hours time, and it would have been achieved were it not for track maintenance work around Calais. Congratulations to all the Eurostar team!
