That first part of the trip is not from Paris-Nord, but from Brussel-Zuid (Midi). The flyover at the start of the video carries the Eurostar/Thalys/TGV line (96N) over the other tracks, and the line continues to Halle, where it then becomes High Speed Line "L1". It runs to Lille, then ends just before Lille-Europe TGV.
Did you drive this train or did you bribe the driver to let you sit next to him? great video Gary You are such a great video maker thanks and love from us all x
How long do you actually spend within the channel tunnel - I've travelled on the cargo trains before and remember it being about a 45-55 minute journey but that seemed like it was a lot shorter.
All trains max speed thru the tunnel is 100 MPH (160 KPH). Passenger trains are already at speed when entering the tunnel where as Car/Coach/Truck trains enter at a slower speed due to the vehicle terminals being close to the tunnel entrances hence the longer time in travelling.
@ccolimon The long tunnel before St Pancras is beneath London. There is a station around 2:14 called Stratford International: station for the 2012 Olympics.
It shows why HS1 was so expensive - and late - compared to LGV - the tunnels. The UK always seems to find the most complicated and expensive way of doing things (Wembley stadium, Crossrail, HS2 etc...etc..)
I'm a Yank and I made the Brussels to St. Pancras trip one time. Is there a long tunnel just before you pull into St. Pancras? I was trying to figure it out while watching the video. Tks. Great video!!
It is from Brussels to London.

Righto. Uploader, please correct your caption.

What's with the scary music ? :(
Put the video on x2 speed
Change the description. It's wrong. It's from Brussels, not from Paris.

Another piece of technical wizardry Gary...excellent end product 5* Bob
Thank you for replying to my comment, by the way the train started at Brussles Midi.
めちゃすばらしっす😆👍
next time when i'm in london i will go to paris for a day - the travel time is only 2 hours and 10 minutes O_O
What was with the Police & the Cameramen at the end?
Hello great video :) Do you have the video without time lapse? It will be good to ear the sound of the cab and see the trip with the real speed
You can buy the video from Video 125. Go to there website at www.video125.co.uk and is available as a standard DVD or Bluray.

Eurostar takes 20 mins within the tunnel. Le shuttle (euro shuttle) takes 35mins from each terminus (folkstone and calais) hope this helps @imjustrach
cargo train takes about 30 mins
This played funny tricks with my eyes...0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

That's cool

Can i use this video for a school play?
Heel mooi gefilmd ga je nog meer filmen bijvoorbeeld tgv ice thalys ook versnelt?
Fantastic!
@eurodestination The train starts at Brussels Midi and finishes at London St Pancras International.
I never knew they were this fast! Cameras really don’t pick up this speed!
@JohnRossRotterdam Many thanks, never was quite sure.
Excellent video I have the DVD (Blue Ray) of that which is good but a much longer and you need at least an hour and a half to watch it.
its about 20 minutes actually
Great Video. Been on that train a few times. Would like to see it at normal speed.
Bravo
Very nice video. I have traveled that line 3 times.
Awesome choice of music.
great video! thanks for uploading.
err its brussles not Paris
@ccolimon Yeah, there is a succession of tunnels in the last 10 minutes of that journey.
It's around 30mins
@bhavyful I agree it is from Brussels
Fantastic Video. What frame rate did you use?
Whatever happened to the full version of this video? Why on earth was it taken off as it had so many views.
@MC2251 Cheers, still can't really work out from where it starts though...
@ccolimon
the largest tunnels in London i believe!
super
I'm a Yank and I made the Brussels to St. Pancras trip one time. Is there a long tunnel just before you pull into St. Pancras? I was trying to figure it out while watching the video. Tks. Great video!!
Yes because its would be in central London and there would be no room
This actually starts from Brussels-midi in Belgium not Paris as it says in the description
Channel tunnel doesn't go to belgium.
wow
Where did you found this music ? I searched her many times but I didn't her found.
She's very beautiful.
hey good video!
After watching this, I regret eating a pizza......
I think this is from Brussels to London actually.
If this were stretched out to say, 8 minutes it would be a really good video.
The music is kind of creepy.
what is the song name can't find it
What happened at 1:15?
Did you go through the channel tunnel or something?
Yes, the Channel tunnel
this is from Bruxelles midi
I'm pretty sure this is BRUSSELS to London, no?
@RODALCO2007 Thanks for your kind comment.
Oh money talks, money talks!
@7544jeroen Thalys trains can't go through the Euro Tunnel
EUROSTAR PASSING TO LONDON
Sorry for the caps
@robertparmar37 yep
better to reduce the lapse ...
@Pinku8482 try searching for "the Chase" incompetech
@soundseeker63 Creepy....and copyright free
When this was filmed, did the train actually go nonstop? Doesn't it stop at Lille, Calais, Ashford, and Ebbsfleet?
how thy turn from left to right lane traffic?
let me guess the english challel tunnel
how lang is it travel from Paris to Londen ??
how long is it i mean in real time... ??
Hyperloop in a nutshell
@MrExplorer7 film it normally, then speed it up
nice!!!! America needs to get with the program!!
they clearly don't. seems to be a fairly successful state regardless of the public transport infrastructure.
paris to london in 2 and a half minutes? FAKE!
Too frantic.
@joshwashposh Troll!
no immigrants were harmed in the making of this film
