Eurostar set new Brussels to London Record

Eurostar has broken yet another record, this time for the journey between Brussels and London St. Pancras International.

The 232-mile journey between London St Pancras and Brussels took 1 hour, 43 minutes, with the Eurostar travelling at speeds of more than 186 mph. Using the all new High Speed 1 line, this took 20 minutes off the time it currently takes to travel from Brussels to London Waterloo.

Only earlier this month, Eurostar broke the record for the fastest train journey between Paris and London. If Eurostar keeps going at this pace, they will have to fork out extra cash for more champagne!

The all new St Pancras International station provides easier connections throughout London and the rest of the UK, and from November travellers will be able to buy tickets to the continent from around 70 UK train stations for the first time.
