Eurostar train on the Channel Tunnel Rail Link

A Eurostar train travels High Speed 1.

Eurostar is a train service that connects London with Paris and Brussels. Trains cross the English Channel via the Channel Tunnel. The French and Belgian sections of the route use the same high-speed rail lines as the TGV and Thalys, and in England a new line, High Speed 1, is being built to the same standard. This is a two-phase project known as the Channel Tunnel Rail Link project (CTRL).
