Eurostar smashes London-Paris journey time
A high speed Eurostar train today heralded this weekend’s opening of the first stage of the UK’s long awaited Channel Tunnel Rail Link (CTRL) by smashing the London-Paris rail journey time record.
Packed with celebrities and media guests and given a showbiz send-off from London’s Waterloo station, the Eurostar reached Paris in two hours 19 minutes, beating the normal time of two hours 55 minutes.
