Eurotunnel is the name of the company which owns and operates the Channel Tunnel, as well as other business interests.
The Channel Tunnel connects the United Kingdom and France. It runs between Folkestone in Kent and Sangatte near Calais in Pas-de-Calais.
The Eurotunnel Shuttle is the brand name for the car carrying trains which run through the Channel Tunnel between Folkestone and Calais.
Eurostar is the brand name of the company running high speed trains London-Paris and London-Lille-Brussels through the Channel Tunnel.
The Eurostar takes 2 hours 15 minutes between London and Paris.
A Eurostar train can carry 750 passengers: 206 in first class, 544 in standard class (second class). 10 million passengers travelled by Eurostar in 2013, a record.
The First train leave London at 5.25am Monday to Friday and the last train at 20h05.
From 5h25am, trains will leave on average every half an hour, for destinations either Paris or Brussels. (the are more trains for Paris than Brussels)
Eurostar offers 17 weekday London-Paris services (19 on Fridays) including 7 non-stop, and 10 London-Brussels trains including 3 non-stop.
On Saturday, the last train from London is at 20h35 (it is often a "party train" full of people going clubbing to Paris overnight. They will be on board the first train on Sunday Morning :) )
If your're talking about the TGV-TMST, incorrectly known as the "Eurostar" (but the name sounds a lot cooler!), this will give you the figures per company:
SNCB (Belgium) : 4
SNCF (France) : 16
EUKL (England) : 11 + 7 trainset North of London
that sums up to 38 trainsets, but not all of them are used as "Eurostar" anymore. The British Railways use 7 of them as internal commuters, and the French have 3 trainsets they use as regular "TGV".
So one can say only 28 of them are Eurostar.

To get from London to Zürich you need to go:
- London St. Pancras - Paris Gare du Nord (Eurostar train).
- Cross Paris by Métro.
- Paris Gare du Lyon to Zürich Hauptbahnhof (TGV train).
I have done this, it takes about 8 hours.
That depends on which part of England you're starting out from. It costs at least $54.00 for a one-way ticket from London - St. Pancras to Paris - Gare du Nord and that price can rise based on the particular timing of the train trip and which class on the train you choose to ride in (first class, second class, etc.).
The Euro tunnel surfaces in Coquelles, a French village near the town of Calais.
Steam trains varied in length due to the length of the passenger carriages that they were coupled to.
Usually they didnt exceed the length of the platform.
