Eurostar London-Paris Route Faster than Ever |
 Yesterday the Eurostar train making its inaugural test trip between London's soon-to-open St. Pancras station and Paris broke the record for its fastest rail journey, arriving at its destination in two hours and three minutes. I can remember the days when the Eurostar took much longer than that - it had to have been at least three hours when I rode it last in 2000. The route officially opens Nov. 14, 2007 and will run between the new Eurostar terminal at London's St. Pancras station and the Paris Eurostar terminal. The move from London's Waterloo station to St. Pancras means faster journeys (the trains will run on newly laid tracks), more tube lines (six) serving the station and access to all the good stuff (Europe's longest Champagne bar will be in the new station) in the St. Pancras-King's Cross area of London before or after you board the train.
