The high-speed train service, Eurostar, recently moved its London terminal from Waterloo Station to St. Pancras.   They also formed themselves as an entirely high-speed train service, and beat their own records by cutting 20 minutes off the trip from London to Paris, and 25 Minutes off the London to Brussels trip.    This is results from a part of a $12 billion project.  Trains now can reach the maximum of 186 mph in Britain.

 The first scheduled trains on the service departed for Paris from St. Pancras Station in central London, at 11:01 a.m. and arrived at the Gare du Nord two hours and 15 minutes later (down from the previous standing of two hours and 35 minutes).  The Brussels train left at 11:04 a.m. and arrived at the destination one hour and 51 minutes later.
