St Pancras Station is one of my favourite train stations in Britain. It is a story of riches to rags to riches again. Once the largest single span arched roof in the world, it was opened in 1868 as part of the Midland Railway's London extension from Bedford (~50 miles north of London), it was bombed in both World Wars, poorly repaired afterwards (with solid metal panels replacing the original glass), seemed destined for the wrecking ball in the 1960's (it was proposed to close it and turn the site into a car park), became a dark and damp place with diesel fumes hanging in the air come the 1990's and with the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, what became HS1, it was sympathetically restored and adapted. Since reopening in 2007, it has had the metal panels that were put in to repair the bomb damage to the roof replaced with glass and during the work, the engineers uncovered the original sky blue colour, which they christened "Barlow Blue," after the original designer of the station, William Barlow

Just as a nitpick, the route you show at 0:48 is the legacy "slow" lines between Paris and Calais, the Eurostar uses the LGV Nord, which takes a slightly longer route past Lille, but has a much higher top speed than the legacy line, making it much faster for the Eurostar. Also the top speed of the Eurostar is 190mph, 100mph is the speed limit through the channel tunnel, but the LGV Nord and HS1 lines both have top speeds of 190mph.

The maximum speed of Eurostar in normal service is 186mph. The E300 trains are limited to that speed, the newer E320 trains can go 200mph. Speed limits through the tunnel is around 65mph, and you don't travel much above 140mph in the UK.

Rode Eurostar round trip from London to Paris back in June of this year. This is by far the fastest way to travel between the two cities. I also had to do this with three other people one of whom could not walk very well and eight large pieces of luggage (I only had one suitcase and my backpack). While riding it I was always thinking about how badly we need this in the U.S. There are plenty of routes in the U.S need a train route like this. London to Paris is roughly the same distance between NYC and Boston which Amtrak Acela does in 3 hrs 50 mins and D.C and NYC which Acela does in just under 3 hrs. Trains like this are great because the get you from city center to city center. Flying this route means getting to Charles De Gaulle Airport which can be up to a hour by car with traffic or shorter by train. Then going through security, waiting for plane, boarding said plane, flying the less than one hour to either Heathrow or Gatwick, go through passport control get checked luggage (if you brought it with you), get either car (which is another hour during rush hour) or take train into city. This same principal applies in both scenarios in from NYC to Boston or D.C to NYC. In Jeb's video where he did the train or plane from D.C to NYC the train won. Other people did the exact same video from London to Paris and the train won handily.

One correction, when you leave St Pancras Station you are in the London Borough of Camden, not the City of London. If you walk south you will be in the City of Westminster. The City of London refers to the square mile around the Bank of England devoted to finance. The City of London is a medieval throwback that has its own local government and is legally separate from Greater London, which surrounds it. So London is one of the world's great cities, but only a tiny, separate part is called the City of London!

For the past couple of years, I've taken the Eurostar quite a lot (about once per month), travelling between Rotterdam and London. I travel equally on Standard Premier and Standard; however, in May I took a trip in Business Premier as most other tickets were sold out or very expensive. To be honest, I was very disappointed. Yes, you get to skip the long normal security line, which is a benefit, but the lounge in London was rammed, with standing room only, and the food on offer was poor. On board, the seats are the same as Standard Premier, and they often even serve the same wines. The food was also the same, except for the main course, which was hot instead of cold, and slightly bigger portion-wise. Overall, it was a poor value for money (Business Premier is £299 each way). Standard Premier is typically far better value for leisure travel, or if you're paying yourself, as you get the same seats and almost as delicious food on board (the desserts are always very tasty!) That said, regular Standard class is also very nice, with plenty of space on the new e320 trains, and there's always the option of buying some food and wine before you get on-board (or at the café car)...

Takes 20 mins through the tunnel on Eurostar, 35 mins for the LeShuttle. They have 4G leaky feeders in the tunnel. Probably best just to use mobile signal.

The Channel tunnel always gets a lot of publicity while the Seikan tunnel in Japan connecting Honshu and Hokkaido islands barely gets a mention, it's longer, opened earlier and the trains are faster.

Great vlog as always! This is the new way of inter-city travel in central Europe. If the rail time is up to 5-6h. Train it is. Not in Norway. The distance between Bergen and Stavanger, 170km a minimum of 5h by car, or 20mins by plane. A no brainer. Keep up the good work. Be safe!

Did this journey round trip in mid-May. It's truly amazing to see what high-speed rail is supposed to be vs. what we have here in the USA. I have noticed security/passport control lines/queues have become quite bad since brexit, and in May, everyone needed COVID-19 vax card clearance to get into the EU, complicating boarding. It's incredible how much the vibe changes from outside St. Pancras to outside Gare du Nord.

I agree. I wouldn't be hanging around Nord du Gare at night for sure.

I usually go with what is cheaper but I do keep in mind the added costs of flying such as baggage & travel to and from the airports. And if the Eurostar works out about the same price or even about £20 more i'd pick the Eurostar over flying. I recently done Milan- Paris- London all by train and it was a great trip.

A few years ago under the Eurostar company operating licence, they had to submit full architectural plans for a new tunnel (the original one is only designed to last 100 years) - they brush off and submitted a plan from an original team to build the tunnel - The plan involved building two bridges leading to two Cayson towers with ramps spiralling up/down leading to a tunnel connecting the two - and this would be a road tunnel.

Fun fact for you Jeb. In the old days, before a train would enter a tunnel, women would put hat pins in their mouth, to stop men from trying to kiss them, when the train went dark. This would be a long time to have a hat pin in your mouth for. Thanks always for your great travel reviews.
