Great video, …
Great video, especially the aerial camera shots. Paris is certainly highly industrialised and not much wide open spaces there. I took a moped from Calais to Paris in 1970…would like to return and take this train…
Vancouver, Canada.

just need to build HS2: St Pancreas-Sheffield-Manchester (via woodhead tunnel)
HS3, HS4, etc and make sure no corrupt officials named grandson of Beeching get their greedy little hands on it!!

I love travelling on the Eurostar trains – get on at St Pancras in London and get off at La Gare du Nord in Paris just over 2 hours later and in reverse coming back.
That brings back …
That brings back memories. I was on duty in the I.E.C.C that day and I remember all the top bods watching its progress and making sure it didn’t get held up!
Good vid apart from …
Good vid apart from it coming out of Dartford Tunnel instead of THE Channel Tunnel as someone has already mentioned.
lol, the smooth …
lol, the smooth ride will blow you away so much, that when it comes to the tunnel, if you’re still a bit scared, then you can close your eyes and all you will hear is a slight change in noise.
Thank god for that, …
Thank god for that, I’ve been nervous about going on it even though its something I want to do.
Don’t fear the …
Don’t fear the reaper
I just love the …
I just love the noise of the brakes as the train sets off. so nice
Interesting video. …
Interesting video. If this is the official video, it has terrible out-of-sequence video editing, as bad as the BBC.
If only Eurostar PR department stopped thinking they are such a special service, especially when compared to superior Thalys / TGV / ICE PR who let you do decent filming and without the Eurostar “we’re better than you” attitude.
For long the rails …
For long the rails on the english side have been in an awful quality compared to those on the mainland side. From this video I can tell they did invested money in the Eurostar after all.
You Don’t feel …
You Don’t feel anything, it’s really dark, all you see out of the window is the lights on the wall passing at high speed.
HI, I’m a bit …
HI, I’m a bit claustrofobic, how does it feel entering the tunnel, i’m scared!!
im confused, it …
im confused, it goes into the Eurotunnel at 3:20, is that the French side coz it does look alot like the English side, and when it comes out it looks like its coming out in Dartford, when it actually comes out at Cheriton in Folkestone….
You should actually …
You should actually try Don’t Feel the Reaper (Blue Oyster Cult). Trust me!
The song Be Mine – …
The song Be Mine – Robyn goes well with this video for some reason
Good video!
But what an …
But what an interesting thought! Wouldn’t it be nice if the Eurostar train was designed to tilt for a possibly running speed of up to 200MPH.
Agreed. Tis a …
Agreed. Tis a beautiful piece of engineering =)
such an elegant …
such an elegant train. the lights were flashing upon arrival, just looks so posh.
No, just gently …
No, just gently curved lines and lots of cant on the rails.

does the eurostar class 373 tilt to accomodate its high speed?

And then goes back …
And then goes back to a shot from inside the cab somewhere in kent, the back to essex, then London!

at 3:34 when the eurostar is about to exit the channel tunnel on the uk side it show the open of the tunnel opening of the eastbound tunnel
How odd. The …
How odd. The Eurostar enters the tunnel in France at the channel, and exits in England over 50 miles inland at the M25 in Essex. WOW that is some tunnel!! Very nice video none the less.
