Eurostar (railway)

The Eurostar train is underground while it goes through the Channel Tunnel, this takes about 25 minutes.

There are also some tunnels at the London end of the High Speed line which take about 5 minutes to go through, plus other shorter tunnels elsewhere.

Otherwise most of the journey is above ground.

The journey between London and Paris takes 2 hours 15 minutes.

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.

One can travel to the UK using Eurostar by simply getting on the Eurostar train at any one of the locations in Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam and Zurich etc. The train passes through the channel tunnel into the UK.

No. At least not in London St Pancrass where mine was confiscated on my way back to France.

Not on the national trains, but because Belgium is a small country and the cities are close to each other, it is not necessary.

In many stations you find shops to buy food, or at least you find a vending machine for chocolate bars and so.

On the international trains (Thalys, Eurostar, ICE) there is a bar.

it can take up to 15-30 mins
