The Eurostars seem to be a bit quicker than the Javelins.

[@CHOO-CHOOPlane]

The linespeed is higher between Ebbsfleet and Ashford at 186mph, which the Eurostars are travelling at here. But the Javelins can only do 140mph max.

People say that the Javelins are britain’s fastest train but some of the Eurostar trains are owned by the UK and those are faster, since the Javelins can only do 225 km/h or 140 mph while the Eurostars do 300 km/h or 186 mph.

If we're talking trains that don't travel outside of the UK, then it's still the Javelins because I don't expect to see any of those over in France soon haha
Both run on the same line more or less so I just say it's the fastest line we've got currently
