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.

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 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!

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.

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.
