Eurostar is an international high-speed rail service connecting the United Kingdom with France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Most Eurostar trains travel through the Channel Tunnel between the United Kingdom and France, which is owned and operated separately by Getlink.
The London terminus is St Pancras International; the other British calling points are Ebbsfleet International and Ashford International in Kent. Intermediate calling points in France are Calais-Fréthun and Lille-Europe, with trains to Paris terminating at Gare du Nord. Trains to Belgium and the Netherlands serve Midi/Zuid station in Brussels and Rotterdam Central, before terminating at Amsterdam Centraal. Additionally, in France there are
direct services from London to Disneyland Paris and seasonal direct services to southern France (Lyon, Avignon and Marseille) in summer and to the French Alps in winter.
The service is operated by eleven Class 373/1 train sets with 18 coaches and seventeen Class 374 train sets with 16 coaches. The trains run at up to 320 kilometers per hour (200 mph) on high-speed lines
