Eurostar is a
train service that connects London (Waterloo station) with Paris (Gare du
Nord), Lille and Brussels (Brussel Zuid station). Trains cross the English
Channel via the Channel Tunnel, or "Chunnel". In Southern England, a new
railway line has been built to the same high-speed LGV standards used in
France. The two-phase Channel Tunnel Rail Link (CTRL) project has been
partially in operation since 2003, reducing times to and from London Waterloo.
Eurostar have announced that upon completion of the CTRL into London St.
Pancras, the finished railway will be branded as High Speed 1 to the public
from 2007-11-14 onwards.
Since the first revenue-earning Eurostar
trains ran in November 1994, Eurostar has established a dominant share of the
market on the routes it serves. In November 2004, ten years after the start of
services, Eurostar stated that their share of the combined rail/air market
share had grown to 68% for London—Paris and 63% for London—Brussels.
As an ecological pointer, the company noted that these passenger figures
represented a saving of 393,000 carbon dioxide-producing short-haul flights.
